This is how the gang judged in Alicante operated by fraudulently cashing promissory notes and bank checks

Eight individuals face prison sentences for allegedly being part of a gang specialized in fraudulently cashing promissory notes and bank checks. The Prosecutor's Office initially requests sentences ranging from six to nine years in prison for each of the defendants.

The Public Prosecutor's Office outlines in its indictment the 'modus operandi' of the criminal network. According to the indictment, the defendants stole original promissory notes from mailbags from different parts of the country.

Subsequently, they forged the documents and altered the expiration dates, the names of the payees, and the amounts to be cashed. Finally, using false documentation, they proceeded to cash them at various banks across Spain.

According to the Prosecutor's account, which accuses them of continuous fraud and forgery offenses as well as illicit association, when bank employees became suspicious and attempted to verify identities and document authenticity, the accused would flee the branch under some pretext, even leaving behind their ID or the check they intended to cash.

The trial will take place this Wednesday, September 18th, at 9:30 AM in Section Eleven (Elche) of the Provincial Court of Alicante.
