Three suspects were arrested last week for attempted bank fraud when they allegedly tried to claim a bogus remittance of over half a million Euros. The suspects, a 63-year-old German, a 60-year-old Romanian and a 61-year-old local man, were arrested on the southeast Aegean island of Kalymnos after visiting a local bank branch to claim the money. Authorities had already been notified by a bank representative, who had noticed the fake remittance request credited to the 63-year-old's bank account. The credit request concerned a bogus international remittance from a foreign bank amounting to 650 million Euros.
