Fraud at Credit d' Agricole the Truth and some

Having posted this horrific story under Credit d'Agricole the Truth, I didnt post all the gross negligence regarding the fraudlent faxs as The Finanical Services Authority were investigating, they e mailed me to investigate the case after having received a complaint from me.

The fraudlent fax that set the alarms off was a fraudlent fax for 130k which, as it turned out ,arrived from 'nowhere'. There were no security checks carried out and certainly the client didnt know of this transaction  nor yet authorised such a payment, until a return to the United Kingdom, when a bank statement ( surprise surprise as statements were a rare occurance from Emporiki bank - which is owned by Credit d' Agricole )  revealed a payment of 130k to a third party. The client informed the bank, who promised to freeze the account, this didnt happen. This money which came from the second loan applied by Emporiki bank again unauthorised by the client, no drawdown was even signed !!!! Part of the 130k eventually ended up in the account of the employees mothers friends bank account.!!! This wasnt discovered until many years down the line as Emporiki was very 'limited' in the information it passed to his client. There were many other fraudlent faxes with very obvious 'duplicated' fraudlent  signatures, these were only discovered when the clients solicitor contacted the bank. The fraud even extended to requests for sterling to be sent to Greece and euros were sent i.e. 20k sterling requested, 20k euros received, you may ask why didnt the client know, well Emporiki didnt send out statements, and the money was sent to be used by the clients wife, again she didnt receive statements either.QUESTION WHERE DID THE DIFFERNCE GO ?  The exchange rate was approximately 1.60 - 1.70 euros to the pound.  So not only were the bank grossly  negligent in not applying their security measures but executed a cover up job as well and continue to do so to this day.

What is for sure a complex fraud has occured with client twice  being the victim once from the fraud and second from the bank who continues to persecute its client, even though it knows full well it is responsible . QUESTION;Why doesnt the bank do more to expose and bring to justice the criminals who were involved? instead of the continued persecution of their client, this remember is from Europes number one bank, a chilling thought.
