Now the banker speaks

A bombshell in the banking scandal: are customers themselves to blame?

The scandal surrounding an ex-banker in Carinthia is becoming increasingly unbelievable. The man is said to have cheated customers out of a lot of money at a branch in Villach over a period of 18 years. In the meantime, 18 victims have come forward who are missing over 13.5 million euros. Now the suspect is speaking out for the first time. And it all sounds a bit different ...

How many millions can a single bank advisor make disappear from the banking system without it being noticed for years? This question arises in the fraud investigation against the Villach man (53) who allegedly kept customers happy and fooled them with fake investment account statements from 2006 until his arrest a few weeks ago. In the meantime, 18 victims have come forward claiming losses of 13.5 million euros!
