Two tellers at the National Bank in Oran, Salta, Argentina, were sentenced for stealing money from customers while they were making deposits. Silvia Verónica Castro received a suspended prison sentence of two years, and Fernando Horacio Arias Knudsen, six months, also suspended. They were found guilty of fraud and breach of duties of public officials. The modus operandi involved removing bills from deposits and hiding them in promotional flyers. The scheme was discovered in November 2023, and the investigation identified 22 maneuvers. Customers, mostly regulars depositing large amounts, often topped up the shortage assuming they had made a mistake.
