During the correctional hearing on June 20, the bank’s lawyer recognized what he called “negligence” on the part of the bank. One of its clients had asked the organization to give her ex-husband a mandate to use her account and to send her card and code, which the bank did, but at the wrong address.
The documents reached Grégoire (assumed first name), a 43-year-old man from Jodoigne, who thought it best to use them. To avert suspicion, he contacted one of his acquaintances, Michel (loan), a 35-year-old from Louviérois (absent at the aforementioned hearing), who agreed to “lend” his account, which received €23,000.
The same stratagem for Catherine (loan), a 55-year-old Villersoise, who had Nivellois Auguste (loan), 66, under her thumb, who saw their account topped up with around €14,000 while Grégoire was content, if we dare say, to pay twenty thousand euros.
Do the count. We revolve around the 70,000 € which were stolen from the ex-spouses who noticed with a certain delay that they had been victims of the negligence of the bank, which had to compensate them, which led him to constitute a civil party to the trial and to claim his due.
The band of four found themselves in the dock with on their horns a computer fraud that allowed the use of a bank card for disputed transfers, cash withdrawals and purchases by Bancontact between April 7 and May 31 2020, laundering during the same period and, for Grégoire and Catherine, a forgery committed in Nivelles in April 2020.
They established a false acknowledgment of debt dated June 11, 2016 and a false invoice dated April 3, 2019 in the name of a company established in Alicante!
The following judgment fell: work sentences for Grégoire (200 hours), Auguste (150) and Catherine (160), but fifteen months in prison for Michel who pays a high price for his absence from the hearing.
