Interest rate scam
October 11, 2009 | 20,00 EUR | answered by Steffan Schwerin
If someone manipulates the interest or monetary value after the n-th decimal place from n accounts (e.g. 10,000 accounts/year), are they committing only one offense or n offenses, or are these legally considered n cases of fraud?
Dear questioner,
I will answer the question you have asked, taking into account the circumstances described and your input as follows:
Legally, it needs to be distinguished whether there is only one action or multiple actions involved.
Based on this, it will be determined whether the perpetrator is guilty of only one crime or multiple crimes.
If multiple accounts are affected, it can be assumed that the perpetrator has committed multiple cases of fraud, rather than just one case.
So, if the result is that n accounts are affected, the perpetrator has also committed fraud in n cases.
This does not just involve one fraudulent act, but multiple.
In the event of prosecution by the public prosecutor's office and acceptance for trial by the court, an overall penalty will be imposed. In German criminal law, the penalty is not pronounced for each fraudulent act and then simply added up, but an overall penalty is formed.
In case of doubt, if there is a confession regarding some of the acts, others may be “swept under the rug.” In such cases, it is advisable to hire a lawyer for defense.
Finally, I must point out that this platform cannot replace a detailed and personal legal consultation. The goal here is solely to provide an initial rough assessment of your legal issue based on the information you have provided to a lawyer. The legal advice I provide is based solely on the information you have provided. Adding or omitting relevant information in your description of the situation may result in a completely different legal assessment.
I hope I have provided you with an initial overview and that my explanations have been helpful. Please feel free to contact me through the follow-up option on this platform.
Furthermore, I am also available for formal representation. The initial consultation fee paid would be fully credited.
A greater distance between lawyer and client is generally not a problem. With the help of modern communication tools such as email, mail, fax, and phone, legal representation is also possible.
