Israel indicts French immigrants in 9.1 million euro scam
Israel's state prosecutor has indicted four immigrants from France in a major international scam costing multinational companies about 9.1 million euros, or over $10 million.
Companies entangled in the scam include MediaMarkt, Electrolux, Bosch, Eldi, ICI Paris XL, Chanel and Kia Motors, according to the indictment.
Wednesday's indictment says the con men presented themselves as executives of vendors who were owed money and convinced company employees to transfer the sums to bank accounts under their control.
