The bank worker, María de Los Ángeles Ramos García, was linked to criminal proceedings for aggravated theft and benefited from a substitute measure, following having been arrested for having made 16 monetary withdrawals from an account that was not hers. The woman charged must pay a fine of Q1 thousand.
Ramos Garcia was arrested on Tuesday, April 16, accused of having carried out transactions in the name of an account holder to whom she had previously offered services through her bank account, but who, despite the latter’s refusal, according to the Public Ministry ( MP), made 16 monetary withdrawals without the victim’s consent.
The Prosecutor’s Office once morest Organized Crime in coordination with the National Civil Police (PNC) carried out a search, inspection, search and seizure of evidence in a property located in zone 5 of the capital city.
As a result of these efforts by the Crimes Unit related to Banks, Insurance Companies and other Financial Entities, the arrest of Ramos García was coordinated with agents of the National Civil Police (PNC).
“The investigation carried out by the tax personnel establishes that she, as an employee of a banking entity, would have offered a banking product to an account holder which she rejected; However, she ignored it and activated the service and made 16 monetary withdrawals, stealing the amount of Q17,700,” according to the prosecution’s accusation.
The authorities are trying to establish if Ramos García is involved in other similar cases, so they are calling on the population to report events similar to this one.
In addition, they ask account holders not to be surprised by actions like this and that when they suspect any irregular movement to contact the bank authorities.
