It seems like the beginning of a criminal “career”: a 17-year-old from Linz defrauded several banks with a fake passport and financed himself with the considerable “profit”, ie the loot, luxury travel. The damage is considerable: it amounts to several 10,000 euros.
A 17-year-old from Linz offered expensive mobile phones for sale under an alias on various internet platforms and withheld the agreed sales price in twelve cases with fraudulent intent. He also forged his passport and was able to obtain a loan of several thousand euros from an Austrian bank over the Internet, although the attempt ended with another €24,000.
Five checking accounts with three banks
In addition, the suspect opened five different payment accounts on the internet with three other banks, each time using the full account limit. The total damage is in the tens of thousands of euros. The 17-year-old financed most of his luxury trips with the money. The boy who confessed will be reported to the public prosecutor.
