A 25-year-old man from Paris, who claims to have trained in computer engineering, is under suspicion for impersonating judges and police officers to defraud notaries and businesses, with losses potentially reaching up to one million euros. Identified as Shimon B., he allegedly sent deceptive emails from outdated but still operational government domains, such as « interieur.gouv.fr » or « justice.fr », to notaries, companies, and auction houses between May and July 2025. These emails falsely claimed to be from high-ranking officials, warning recipients of alleged investigations into illegal funds and requesting bank transfers and personal documents. According to Le Parisien, the fraud involved virtual telephone systems that redirected calls to SIM cards in Israel, making the investigation more complex. Shimon B. allegedly asked for identity documents and bank details, demanding transfers to accounts in Portugal and Spain. One of the victims, a notarial office, sent over 88,000 euros to a fake account presented as belonging to AGRASC, a public body responsible for managing properties seized during legal investigations. A company executive also suffered losses, with stolen funds used to rent two Skodas. Shimon B. was arrested at his mother’s home in Paris after investigators from the Central Office for Repressing Serious Financial Crime (OCRGDF) tracked him through telecommunications and bank activity. During the arrest, he was found attempting to hide on a balcony and in a wardrobe. Police found 4,000 euros in cash, three mobile phones, and a computer. The suspect confessed to investigators and is now being looked into for fraud and money laundering as part of an organized group. He initially mentioned tensions with Marco Mouly and Gilbert Chikli, known for involvement in a carbon tax fraud scheme, but later called these claims "lies" before a judge. His lawyer, Adrien Gabeaud, described him as a "geek" and requested judicial control or an electronic bracelet. The suspect, an unemployed young father with no criminal record, is currently in provisional detention while investigators search for accomplices, some of whom are believed to be in Israel. He also claimed to have discovered a vulnerability in police and judicial servers, which he allegedly exploited for nearly a year. He is also linked to another fraud involving fake SMS messages from bank advisors, directing victims to call fraudulent numbers.
