If the scammer is not found, the case will be closed. From then on, explains 20minutes.fr, the bank can fall into the sights of justice. “The victim can request compensation for their damage from the judicial court, on the basis of the banker’s duty of vigilance,” explains a specialist lawyer. The establishment could be ordered to reimburse the lost amount. But be careful not to declare victory too quickly. The bank’s conviction is far from automatic, because the latter can defend itself. “It is possible that the banker actually called Anne to warn her of suspicious amounts. It is enough to prove that the calls took place,” recalls the lawyer.
