“The NBI said Arellano, an employee at the BPI branch in Malate, Manila, had admitted to receiving P10 million for issuing bogus bank certification documents that Tolentino and his law office needed as the supposed local trustee of Wirecard.”
I guess it goes to show that if you are dealing with enough cash to bribe third world governments then all kinds of new fraud schemes become possible.
