Sources explained how cybercriminals “sent hundreds of false orders to move amounts ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of pesos from banks including Banorte, to fake accounts in other banks.” Once the funds landed in the fraudulent accounts, accomplices would then go to local branch offices around the country and drain the accounts.

A Chinese court sentenced former political high-flyer Sun Zhengcai to life in prison for taking more than $26 million in bribes, making him one of the biggest names to fall in President Xi Jinping’s campaign against corruption and disloyalty.

In addition to being imprisoned, Sun was deprived of political rights for life and all his personal property was confiscated.

Sun had been a member of the party’s elite 25-member Politburo and the top official in the western megacity of Chongqing before suddenly being removed in July.

He pleaded guilty to the charges in court and expressed repentance, according to Tianjin’s No. 1 Intermediate People’s Court,

America’s Supreme Court ruled Israelis cannot prosecute the Arab Bank in the US as foreign corporations cannot be sued in American courts for human rights abuses carried out overseas, Reuters reported.

Some 6,000 Israeli plaintiffs filed a lawsuit against the Arab Bank based in Amman over claims that it has links to attacks carried out in Israel.

Reuters said that the plaintiffs accused the Arab Bank of deliberately financing terrorism, including suicide bombings and other attacks.

The Israeli plaintiffs said, according to Reuters, the Arab Bank used its New York branch to transfer money that helped Hamas and other Islamist militant groups fund attacks and reward families of the perpetrators between 1995 and 2005.

“Arab Bank is pleased with the court’s decision, which ends this litigation and affirms the bank’s belief that there is no basis to hold corporations liable under international law,” the bank said in a statement.

A member of the Russian upper house security committee has described a recent Saudi statement urging Qatar to send troops to Syria as blackmail, and warned that any such step would bring only chaos and casualties to the region.

Klintsevich referred to comments by Saudi Foreign Minister Adel Jubeir, who earlier in the day stated that Qatar must “send its military forces (to Syria), before the US president cancels US protection of Qatar, which consists of the presence of a US military base on its territory.”
