(May 2nd, Buenos Aires Chinese Media Huang Dong) According to local media reports, the University of Buenos Aires (UBA for short) lost about 1.591 billion pesos due to fraud in the Faculty of Law and the Faculty of Dentistry, with multiple transfers from the national bank account to personal and non-existent legal entity accounts.
Recently, both UBA and the involved banks have initiated internal investigations, resulting in the arrest of 17 people, four of whom have been charged, and judicial authorities have also intervened in the investigation.
It is reported that the fund transfers concentrated last September, when suspects impersonated staff of UBA's finance department and issued multiple bank transfer instructions via electronic payment methods.
According to the judicial report, "a total of 13 transfers have been carried out, amounting to 1.591 billion pesos. However, the fraudsters were not satisfied with this and attempted another three transfers (amounting to 341 million pesos)."
It was reported that the transfer instructions were initially sent by email and later through paper documents with forged signatures of authorized operators of UBA accounts.
In addition, the suspects used a fake UBA email address to send transfer forms.
