A lightning infiltration: 3,421 withdrawals in a single night
In a single night, the newspaper reports, hackers managed to infiltrate the bank's system, allowing them to orchestrate a simultaneous raid. A total of 3,421 fraudulent withdrawals were made at several ATMs, notably in Dakar, Thiès, and Kaolack.
Two suspects intercepted by the DIC at the border
The investigation, entrusted to the Criminal Investigation Division (DIC), has already yielded results. Two suspects, both Senegalese, were intercepted while attempting to leave the country. They were brought before the prosecutor's office this Tuesday on charges of criminal conspiracy, organized fraud, forgery and use of forged documents, as well as money laundering and complicity.
The trail of an international mafia
Everything suggests that the two suspects arrested are just the tip of the iceberg. Investigators are focusing on the theory of an international criminal network (mafia) capable of breaching secure banking systems. Several other members of this organization are actively being sought, Libération adds.
