Two defendants managed to defraud a bank client and transfer the amount of 80 thousand dirhams from his account to the account of one of them, who drew a check of the same amount to his partner, and who in turn involved a third defendant in trying to cash the check, but the strength of the observation and acumen of the banker prevented the completion of the crime, as The employee managed to foil the fraud when he noticed a breach in the check.
