Bank Office Managers
In our News article of counterfeit gangs in Spain we made known the figure of the "passer" used by the bands.
According to the Canary Newspaper 7, two branch managers of the Caja Rural de Canarias have been accused of spending 40,000 Euros on 100 Euro notes.
The entity has replenished the money to the receivers of the counterfeit currency.
Apparently the counterfeit bills had "very good quality". Both the paper and the ink and the different security measures had made their identification very difficult without the use of adequate technology.
Given the quality of the forgery, the Civil Guard believes that behind this crime there is a large and expensive infrastructure.
That money comes from a bank does not always guarantee its authenticity and "passers" or buyers of counterfeit bills can be found even in places where they should give more confidence.
