This failed attempt to outwit the bank, as necessary, caused inconvenience to the husband: the police prosecuted the Tauragiškis for the sale of counterfeit money, and the court fined the man 3.4 thousand for this crime. a fine of EUR.
Judge Raimonda Pauparienė, who examined the criminal case, allowed the convicted person to pay the fine within six months. It was proposed to impose a fine of this amount on the defendant by the prosecutors who carried out the pre-trial investigation – the defendant agreed, so the case presented against him was examined in a written procedure by adopting an order penal.
Tauragiškis was found guilty not only because he tried to sell a counterfeit 50 euro note, but also because he bought ten counterfeit 50 euro notes from the Chinese-owned AliExpress store. The man paid two euros for them.
During a police questioning, the defendant said that there were Chinese fingerprints on the counterfeit banknotes and that the banknotes were of very poor quality.
“I bought these tickets for Monopolis, I wasn’t even planning to use them anywhere else, they were in a box with a board game all the time,” he said.
One day a man took the game to his family; had just returned from a holiday in the UK.
“On the way, I went to the bank to exchange pounds for euros, and then I decided to deposit them in my account,” said the man. – When I deposited the money, I went back to the car and thought childishly, what if I put a fake Chinese bill in the ATM? I decided to give it a try: I went back to the ATM and put in a fake 50 euro bill from the board game. But I didn’t get it back, it was written on the ATM screen that the money would be turned over to the police. “
That’s right: a few days after the collectors from the security company picked up at the ATM, Swedbank employees handed over the fake bill to the police. A pre-trial investigation was launched immediately.
“Realizing what I had done and that it was not a funny joke, after the police visit, I burned the remaining nine Chinese banknotes,” admitted Tauragiškis.
He assured that he regretted this irresponsible behavior and, as he himself pointed out, childish.
“I didn’t think it was a crime, I just wanted to joke and check if the account could be replenished with fake money,” the man said.
