It was determined that three individuals working as a cashier and fuel pump attendants at a gas station in Istanbul received cash from the register after payments were made with POS devices, and then canceled the transactions made with the POS device after presenting the card slips to the business. It was established that the suspects caused the business a loss of approximately 7 million 348 thousand 968 lira.
An extraordinary robbery report has come from Istanbul. Allegedly, Bayram S.A., who worked as a cashier at a Shell gas station in Esenler between 2022 and 2024, and Ceyhan D. and Mehmet U., who worked as pump attendants between 2021 and 2024, took cash from the register after payments made through the POS devices.
TOOK CASH AND CANCELED WITH THE POS DEVICE
The suspects, who were found to have used their own cards, canceled the card slips with the POS device without informing the accounting department. Taking advantage of the loophole they found in the accounting system, the three suspects caused the business a loss of 7 million 348 thousand 968 lira. The scheme of the three employees was revealed during the accounting department's control of the business.
3 PEOPLE WERE ARRESTED
Upon the complaint of the workplace, the three individuals were quickly caught and arrested by police teams. In the indictment, it was requested that Bayram S.A., Ceyhan D., and Mehmet U. be sentenced to separate prison terms of 4 to 10 years for the crime of 'fraud by using information systems of banks or credit institutions as a tool.'
ONCE AGAIN IN FRONT OF THE JUDGE
While the trial process continues, the detained defendants Bayram S.A., Ceyhan D., and Mehmet U. appeared once again before the judge at the Bakırköy Heavy Penal Court. During the hearing, the detained defendants Bayram S.A., Ceyhan D., and Mehmet U. and the lawyers of the parties were present.
"WE DID NOT CANCEL ANY TRANSACTIONS"
The defendants, who made their defense during the hearing, claimed that they did not cancel any transactions through the cash register, that their intention was not fraud, and that they did not know the account holders involved in the transactions, requesting their release from the court.
The attorney for the complainant stated that the cancellation transactions were based on concrete evidence and requested the punishment of the defendants. The defense attorneys for the defendants argued that the defendants did not act with the intention of fraud in the incident and requested their release. The public prosecutor, whose opinion was sought, stated that there were missing issues in the case file and requested the continuation of the detention of all defendants.
THE HEARING WAS ADJOURNED
The court panel, announcing its interim decision, ruled for the continuation of the defendants' detention and adjourned the hearing to address the missing issues.
