TABUK: Authorities are investigating the ongoing theft of large sums of money from Saudi banks, the latest of which involves a series of withdrawals over specific time periods.
The investigations were started after a number of people complained to their respective banks about unauthorized withdrawals from their accounts.
Strangely, it appears that the series of withdrawals are not linked, and cannot be traced to a single source, suggesting that the thefts are occurring randomly and with varied targets, according to Okaz.
According to official procedures, the clients who had their accounts tampered with will now be compensated by their banks.
Banker Ibrahim Al Subaei said that the banks bear the brunt of any and all internal theft, including forgeries. He also reiterated that all banks typically have high protection levels. He noted, however, that the banks are not obliged to compensate individuals if it is proved that the client lost his money through some fault of his own, such as compromising his pin number or handing his debit card to another person
