A computer scientist from Bordeaux bought assets worth € 300 using counterfeit names.
He was arrested red-handed and summoned to court.
He thought he could eat in a supermarket in Talence for a long time to come by paying at the cashier in fake denominations of 50 euros.
The scam of this 50 euro computer scientist ended this week at the central police station,
in the premises of the economic and financial affairs security brigade.
Questioned by the police, the man explained himself for a long time before being summoned to court
for a preliminary conviction hearing (CRPC) to answer for the circulation of counterfeit or forged legal tender money.
Arrested for the first time in April 2019, in the same shop, for identical facts,
was convicted. But that didn't stop the computer scientist from attempting to defraud the brand again last September and October.
The sixth payment will have been the overpayment. At the checkout, an employee took over
the false cut and the dishonest customer was stopped by the security service and handed over to the police on call.
In front of the investigators, the computer scientist explained that he had acquired the counterfeit 50 euro bills on the Darknet.
The cuts, very well imitated, would come from Italy and Germany according to the former
investigations by the financial police who also discovered amphetamine pills at the defendant's home.
