OM eist 30 maanden cel tegen man die tientallen bankrekeningen opende met deepfakes 18.03.2026

The Public Prosecution Service (OM) is seeking a 30-month prison sentence, with six months suspended, for a 34-year-old Amsterdam man accused of defrauding ABN Amro bank. The suspect allegedly opened 34 bank accounts using deepfake technology to impersonate individuals, altering ID photos and facial scans to bypass the bank's verification process. He obtained personal documents from people interested in apartments he was offering, then used these to create fraudulent identities. ABN Amro discovered the scam in May of the previous year when a passport photo of a woman was matched with a selfie of a man. The suspect was apprehended in December after being found with multiple debit cards at a border crossing. The OM stated the suspect acted solely for personal gain, disregarding the victims of identity fraud. The court is expected to deliver its verdict in two weeks.
