Unidentified Individual Suspected in Bank Fraud Case
In a recent development, German authorities are seeking the public's help in locating a suspect wanted for questioning in connection with a fraud case. The suspect is believed to have gained access to the online banking account of a larger catering chain by July 2024.
The individual in question is a 27-year-old man of Bosnian-Herzegovinian citizenship. He was arrested in early July 2025 in the Essen and Dortmund region by specialized police units. Authorities suspect him of using fraudulent commercial activities to finance an Islamist terrorist attack.
The investigation began with suspicions of organized fraud related to financing terrorism. The suspect allegedly used a fake passport as part of this operation, although further details on the passport or other aliases have not been disclosed. The suspect's identity has been partly revealed as a young Bosnian man, but no full name or detailed personal information has been publicly released.
The suspect is described by photos available to the public. He is wanted for questioning in connection with the fraud case involving the catering chain's online banking account. It is suspected that he posed as the authorized business manager of the catering chain and made several cash withdrawals in the high five-figure range, attempting to transfer amounts in the seven-figure range multiple times.
The Criminal Police is seeking assistance in locating the suspect, who is currently at large. Tips can be submitted to any police station, the responsible specialist commission for fraud offenses at the State Criminal Police Office Berlin in Martin-Luther-Straße 105, Schöneberg, or via the online police station. Emails can be sent to [email protected].
The police urge anyone with information about the suspect's whereabouts to come forward. The public's help is crucial in apprehending the individual and ensuring justice is served.
- The fraud case involving the catering chain's online banking account appears to intersect with the banking-and-insurance industry, as large sums of money were allegedly withdrawn.
- The suspect's activities, including using fraudulent commercial activities to finance an Islamist terrorist attack, also fall under crime-and-justice.
- The general news community should be aware of this ongoing investigation, as it involves a wanted individual with connections to finance and industry, and concerns the security of the banking-and-insurance sector.
