Two women were arrested after being detected stealing identities to access Patria System bonuses, according to military sources.
This procedure was carried out in the Prados de La Villa neighborhood, Rosario de Perijá municipality, Zulia state, where Carmen Delia López and Yoisines del Carmen Rangel were arrested. They had an arrest warrant based on the file opened by the Public Ministry MP-129370-24.
These women were in charge of operating fake accounts on the social networks Facebook and WhatsApp, with the purpose of obtaining bank details and data from the patria platform, to receive benefits in the name of the victims. They also usurped the identity of the users of the aforementioned virtual platform, according to a report from the National Anti-Extortion and Kidnapping Command (Conas) 11.
López and Rangel were handed over to the Public Prosecutor’s Office, whose prosecutors will charge them with identity theft and computer crime.
