Bank Employee Flees After Allegedly Draining Deceased Client’s Account in Morocco

It all started with the complaint filed with the bank branch by the children of a customer who were surprised to find her account empty. The internal investigation opened following this complaint revealed that the employee had, at regular intervals, made significant withdrawals from the account of the elderly customer who had not carried out many banking operations in the days preceding her death.

The person concerned continued to carry out operations on the account without realizing that the customer had died. The internal audit proved that money withdrawals were made after the date of the account holder’s death. The audit report was transmitted to the police, who summoned the bank employee to hear his version of the facts. But the employee had already fled. A national search warrant was issued against him.
