The three former tellers, Yeimaly Moscat , 23, of Boston, Yojairis Suazo , 21, of Boston, and Angelica Morales , 31, of Mattapan, allegedly created a scheme where they would process unauthorized withdrawals and fraudulent transactions, according to NBC Boston.
The unauthorized withdrawals took place in the Somerville, Dorchester, and Milton branches between September 2022 and December 2023.
Moscat and Suazo started the scheme back in 2022 while working at Citizens Bank branches in Somerville and Dorchester. Moscat allegedly processed 12 unauthorized withdrawals, which totaled $40,900, while Suazo conducted 15 fraudulent transactions worth $30,850. The funds were reportedly handed over at counters to individuals who were falsely labeled as “known customers.”
Morales then allegedly joined the scheme while working at a Milton branch a year later. According to investigators, she processed five unauthorized withdrawals totaling $20,000 between November and December of 2023. Morales allegedly then handed the money over to people who were not the account holders.
