$400,000 Reportedly Stolen From Politician’s Bank Account

Willian Cytall, councillor for the Troja Division in the St Catherine Municipal Council  recently discovered that a large sum of money had allegedly been taken from his bank account without his knowledge.

The politician reportedly had $400,000 removed from his account by hackers.

And the massive withdrawal resulted in his account being nearly empty.

According to The Star, Cytall stated:

  

“I went to Linstead to make a withdrawal when I realised that only $8,000 was left in my account. When I checked it out, the manager told me that she will be investigating the matter”.

He also reportedly stated:

“This money was to do business on Tuesday. Can you imagine how shocked I was to realise that about 95 per cent of my money was gone by criminal means?”

It is believed the crooks cloned Cytall’s bank card.

A probe on the incident has already revealed that the thieves gained access to his account at ABM machines in Cross Roads and Mona.
