According to the Canary Newspaper 7, two branch managers of the Caja Rural de Canarias have been accused of spending 40,000 Euros on 100 Euro notes.
The entity has replenished the money to the receivers of the counterfeit currency.
Apparently the counterfeit bills had "very good quality". Both the paper and the ink and the different security measures had made their identification very difficult without the use of adequate technology.
