On Friday, the Police Department received a formal statement via the e-policija portal from a representative of a local company. The report detailed a significant financial incident involving unauthorized transfers that occurred within the Vilnius district. According to the statement, the scheme took place over a period spanning from March 23 to June 26, with precise timings still under investigation.
The core of the alleged crime involved the company receiving fraudulent communications via electronic mail. These communications purported to originate from a known partner but contained a forged letter advising of changes to the established bank accounts. The perpetrators, identified only as unidentified persons, allegedly exploited this deception through sophisticated fraudulent means.
The total amount misappropriated through these fraudulent transactions is reported to be close to 2 million euros. In response to the substantial financial loss reported by the company, law enforcement authorities have formally initiated a comprehensive investigative inquiry. This investigation is focused specifically on large-scale fraud to trace the source of the forged documentation and apprehend those responsible for the theft.
The police department is actively working to determine the full scope of the breach and to recover the stolen funds, treating the matter with high priority.
