Hamburg - Fraud involving more than 200,000 euros: Apartments searched
Two men are alleged to have defrauded a metal recycling company in Hamburg of more than 200,000 euros. According to the current state of the investigation, a 21-year-old employee of the company is said to have booked scrap deliveries in recent months that did not actually exist, as the Hamburg police announced on Thursday. As a result, amounts totaling more than 200,000 euros were credited to the alleged scrap metal supplier. The 21-year-old and the 29-year-old alleged supplier had probably planned to share the loot, they said.
As part of the investigation, the suspects' homes in Hamburg-Tonndorf and Hamburg-Dulsberg were searched on Wednesday. In addition to documents and data carriers, the officers also seized 30,000 euros and a car. The men are being investigated on suspicion of commercial fraud.
