ATM SKIMMER GANG “HAD PROTECTION FROM MEXICAN ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OFFICE”

On 26 May, the Krebs on Security blog carried a post saying that a new complaint filed with the Mexican Government internal affairs department alleges that a group of Romanians operating an ATM company in Mexico and suspected of bribing technicians to install sophisticated Bluetooth-based skimmers in cash machines throughout several top Mexican tourist destinations have enjoyed legal protection from a top anti-corruption official in the Mexican attorney general’s office.  It is said that federal, state and municipal officers have filed a complaint claiming that the office responsible for combating corruption had initiated formal proceedings against them for investigating Romanians living in Mexico who are thought to be part of the ATM skimming operation.
