Between May and December 2021, Parra allegedly used his position to profile clients and transfer between $4 million and $19 million to two accounts belonging to the same person, who has not yet been captured by authorities.
Although at first it went unnoticed because it violated the security system by freezing it for a few seconds, the bank, warned by the clients, tracked the movements made during the eight months and, after denouncing it, the case came to the hands of the Prosecutor’s Office.
