ANOTHER ROMANIAN CHARGED WITH AT FRAUD

Claudio Precup, the Romanian charged in connection with the multi-million ATM scam in Jamaica was again remanded when he appeared before the St. Andrew Parish Court on Friday.

His attorney, C.J. Mitchell, told the court that he is awaiting statements from the prosecution to determine whether to challenge the case.

Mr. Precup is facing multiple counts of fraud involving more than $50 million.

He was charged by C-TOC investigators who reportedly held him in possession of nearly two hundred ATM cards with the personal information of cardholders.

Investigators said Mr. Precup and four other members of a criminal network have been targeting ATMs across Jamaica, fleecing millions of dollars from several financial institutions.

The men have been installing devices in the machines, capturing the information of cardholders.

A second Romanian, Daniel Suteu, was recently captured by the police.

He is scheduled to appear in court next week.
