Bradford Crown Court

Acquittal.

Senior Bank employee was charged with orchestrating a complex fraud from within banking systems, moving money from customer accounts and then laundering the money via external accounts controlled by his associates.

The bank served expert reports suggesting only this defendant had the level of access to commit this fraud. Defence experts provided evidence that the software being used was capable of being corrupted by others externally making it appear to be an internal hack of a customers account when in fact it was an external hack. The defendant was Acquitted.
