| The arrested person is attributed the alleged responsibility of the crime of fraud | He took advantage of a customer's card payment to 'get hold of' his numbering and use it to pay more than a thousand euros on a digital online gambling platform The Civil Guard of the Region of Murcia has developed an investigation in Cieza, to clarify the fraudulent use of the credit card of a neighbor of the municipality, from which more than a thousand euros were taken from him as an alleged user of a digital online gambling platform , which has culminated in the arrest of a young man, as the alleged perpetrator of the crime of fraud. The investigation began last October, when a Cieza neighbor reported to the Civil Guard having detected a series of charges on his bank account, amounting to 1,170 euros, the origin of which was an unknown online gambling website.

In his account, the injured party stated that at no time had he lost his bank card and that he had not lent it to anyone. The researchers obtained from the digital platform linked to these payments, the identity of the user registered on the website who had made the bets at the expense of the bank account of the injured party. The investigations carried out below allowed the conclusion that, although this person had no connection with the complainant, he worked as a waiter in a hospitality establishment in the municipality. The civil guards found out that the first payment made with the bank card on the website coincided with the date on which the injured party had made a drink at the aforementioned premises. According to the investigation, the employee took advantage of the moment in which the client gave his credit card to pay, to 'get' the numbering of it and use it, from that same day, to place bets online on a website where he had been registered as a user for several years. The investigation culminated in the arrest of a 30-year-old man from Cieza, as the alleged perpetrator of the crime of fraud. The detainee and the proceedings carried out have been made available to the Investigating Court of Cieza (Murcia).
