Romanians rush to bank after savings go missing
About 200 Romanians have rushed to a Dutch-owned bank to check their savings after authorities reported that they received a dozen complaints from people whose accounts had been drained. Romanian authorities have started an investigation at a branch of Credit Europe Bank in Brasov, a city in central Romania.
Police spokesman Liviu Nagy says bank employees are suspected of siphoning off money from the accounts and transferring it into other accounts. Losses are estimated to be 1 million lei ((EURO)240,000). One person reported losses of about (EURO)120,000 (US$156,000). (AP)
