Two members of a Romanian organised crime gang who made dozens of fake credit cards and used them in Dublin shops in the wake of a “deep” skim of UK bank customers details have been jailed.
Daniel Almajanu (35) made fake cards using a card reader/writer machine while Albert Gimy Linul (29) visited various shops buying things with the fake cards, including cartons of cigarettes which were then sold on.
Dublin Circuit Criminal Court heard that during an extensive skimming operation in the UK a Romanian criminal gang based there used a “deep insert skimmer” to collect details of customers of the HSBC bank outlets.
Life in an Irish prison has become very difficult for Romanian man Albert Gimy Linul.
It is hard enough for anyone to serve a prison sentence in a foreign country. It is now even tougher in this time of Covid.
But what s most difficult of all for the 29-year-old inmate is that he has been told he is in danger.
Albert Gimy Linul received a threat in prison last Monday and is taking it so seriously that he has asked to be moved to another prison. Organised crime gangs do not like to hear that their members have co-operated with the police.
