Prosecutors and police are conducting 30 searches related to a case involving 47 individuals accused of stealing electricity for electric vehicle charging. The suspects allegedly created and used fraudulent accounts in the PPC Blue app, resulting in unauthorized charging sessions and a financial loss of 158,355 lei. Investigations revealed exploitation of a vulnerability in the app that allowed repeated charging without new payment authorization. The fraudulent accounts were shared for a fee lower than the official rates, and the operation was coordinated via WhatsApp, with payments made through money transfer apps. The individuals face charges of theft and computer fraud.
