February 18, 2020 The codes of access to the current accounts of dying customers were cleared to empty them before the death occurred: the financial promoter (family banker) Stefania Masi and the insurance agent Felice Crisci to whom the Guard of Finanza di Napoli has notified two arrests in the context of an investigation by the Third Section of the Naples Public Prosecutor's Office (deputy prosecutor Piscitelli, prosecutor Orlando) in which money laundering, scam and computer fraud offenses are alleged.

The financiers, who also notified two reporting obligations to the judicial police also to two other suspects (Raffaele Di Tessitore and Pasquale Papa), in the course of the investigative activity found that the scams and frauds committed by the suspects (a total of 15 people), amount to about one million euro, only partially recovered through a seizure order issued by the investigating magistrate of Naples Gianluigi Visco.

Cases that have come to light include the purchase of a 6400-euro Rolex watch paid for by wire transfer from one of the victims' checking accounts. The watch was paid for and then picked up by a person who had passed himself off as the owner of the financial report: the man also presented an identity card to the shopkeeper, but subsequent checks revealed that it was issued by the Municipality of Taranto for a woman. In addition, the payment via the web was performed by the computer of an Internet Point.

The heirs of the same person were seen "parading", some days after the death of their relative, about 110 thousand euros, with three different transfers made through the victim's home banking system, paid into a Bulgarian current account of one of the suspects . The financial promoter would also have become the protagonist of an alleged scam of 250 thousand euros against her client who died due to an oncological disease in January 2018: the family banker would have seized the huge sum by referring to the heirs, via chat, precisely on the day of the woman's funeral, her client, before dying, had instructed her to secretly purchase paintings to give to her children, specifying that they should learn about the gift only after her death.
