ALBAWABA - Huzayfa Al Ibrahim, a Syrian-born Russian citizen actively engaged in trade in Hatay for over 16 years, has come forward with serious allegations of a financial scam amounting to $13 million. The alleged incident involves a person identified as A.K., whom Ibrahim met around a year and a half ago.
According to Ibrahim, A.K. proposed a lucrative partnership in his companies, assuring high profits. Succumbing to the promises, Ibrahim claims to have made substantial payments, hoping for returns on his investment. However, when the agreed-upon payment date arrived, Ibrahim did not receive the promised funds.
Concerned about the delay, Ibrahim initiated an investigation into A.K.'s financial activities. To his dismay, he discovered that A.K. had purportedly defrauded not only him but multiple individuals, accumulating nearly $30 million through similar schemes.
Reacting promptly to the alleged fraud, Ibrahim, through his lawyer Ali Atar, has filed a formal criminal complaint against A.K. The legal action aims to address the financial losses incurred by Ibrahim and others. Additionally, a complaint has been lodged against a bank official accused of providing misleading information during the transactions.
In response to the allegations, the implicated bank has initiated an internal inquiry, deploying auditors to investigate the claims of fraudulent activities by its staff. The outcome of this inquiry is anticipated in the coming weeks.
The situation raises concerns about the potential exploitation of financial trust and highlights the need for vigilance in financial transactions. Legal investigations are underway, and the involved parties await the findings that will shed light on the alleged fraudulent activities.
