Bank employee arrested for leaking the identities of customers who deposited large sums of money.
Having obtained data on customers who deposited over 10 billion VND, Trung forged savings passbooks and identity cards, then impersonated them to withdraw the money.
At the Hanoi Criminal Police Department, Do Dang Trung confessed that he knew Chu Thi Thu Huong (a bank employee) and asked her to provide information on customers who had deposited large sums of money in savings accounts.
Having obtained data on a customer who deposited over 10 billion VND, Trung asked his friend Nguyen Ba Anh (33 years old) to deposit 1 million VND into a savings account at this bank. Using this savings passbook as a template, Trung created two fake passbooks, filling in the information of the customer who deposited over 10 billion VND.
Trung also forged the identity cards of the aforementioned customers. After completing the forgery of the savings passbooks and identity cards, on the morning of December 20, 2018, he impersonated them to withdraw money.
Meanwhile, the customer was surprised to receive a message about the account being closed, so they contacted the bank to check. The bank then reported the incident to the police.
Through verification of information and bank security camera footage, investigators identified Trung as the culprit.
