A well-known influencer from Panama and four other people were arrested on Tuesday in an operation called "Total Fraud." The Metropolitan Prosecutor's Office, through the Economic Crimes Section, indicated that it had dismantled a group dedicated to a financial fraud scheme against Caja de Ahorros (Savings Bank), causing damage of $786,171.98.
Of the five people arrested, including an influencer, it is detailed according to the investigation that he obtained an economic benefit of over $30,000 within this network.
During the arrests, a firearm with 15 rounds of ammunition was found, which was seized and is part of the investigation file.
It is detailed that those involved presented Caja de Ahorros with false appraisal reports to obtain a mortgage loan for the aforementioned amount. The detainees are being investigated for financial crime and money laundering, as it is believed that they manipulated documentation to illegally access bank funds.
