It seems even presidents cannot escape thieves after it emerged that unauthorized withdrawals have been made from the account of French President Nicolas Sarkozy. Investigators have not revealed the exact amount of money stolen, but say they are small sums.
The Elysee Palace confirmed Sarkozy filed complaints in September. Investigators have had no success so far in identifying the culprits.
The most common way for thieves to find out a person’s bank details is during an on-line purchase or while doing internet banking.
