The police are looking for a woman who, on April 12, using forged documents of a client of Lovćen Bank, withdrew 1,3 million euros from her account.
According to the knowledge of "Vijesti", that banking institution informed the police a day later, when Budvanka MO said that she did not demand that the money she kept in the bank be paid to her.
The Police Directorate unofficially said that it was then established that they had given the money to a person who submitted a forged identity card in the name of the Ministry of Defense
The fraudster allegedly announced on April 11 that she would withdraw the savings at the bank's branch in Herceg Novi, from where, considering that it was a large amount, they informed her when to come.
A day later, she walked into the bank with a backpack, took the money and left.
The fraud was discovered when the documents were sent to the bank's headquarters in Podgorica, from where they contacted the client, who told them that she had not come to Montenegro for more than a year.
"According to the order of the prosecutor, measures and actions are being taken to identify the unknown person who committed the fraud. Surveillance camera footage that clearly recorded the perpetrator was excluded," the police said unofficially.
According to the same information, an internal investigation is being conducted in LB.
That bank announced today that an unknown person committed a "fraudulent act" with the use of falsified documents to the detriment of one of their clients.
