They busted a scheme to drain foreign bank accounts in Plovdiv. During the specialized operation carried out on August 23, three people were detained - a 32-year-old woman and two criminally proven and convicted men aged 41 and 59.

This was specified by bTV.

Their arrest came after operational information was received that they were participating in a scheme to prepare and hide items intended for unregulated access to data on foreign payment documents in the country and abroad.

During searches of three private addresses and a car, a lot of material evidence was found, including elements for making the so-called "skimmers" - parts of ATM devices, boards, readers, micro cameras, plastics, etc.

The three were charged and detained for 72 hours.

Work on the case continues.
