Overview
- Four employees — three men and one woman aged 25 to 41 — are suspected of debiting roughly €1.4 million from customer accounts over a three-month span in 2025.
- Investigators say the group searched internal records to single out mostly older clients and used their personal data to initiate transfers.
- The money was routed to accounts at shell companies, with two suspects allegedly opening the recipient accounts abroad.
- Police executed search warrants on Tuesday at residences in Eimsbüttel, Lokstedt, Horn, Billstedt and Niendorf, seizing numerous data carriers and other evidence.
- The probe, triggered by a tip from a credit institution, is led by the LKA fraud division, and all four suspects remain at liberty pending further steps.
