A Singaporean who is believed to be part of an international ring that cloned credit cards is facing fraud charges in a High Court in Namibia.
Abdul Kader Jamal Mohamed, 45, and four others were accused of using more than 450 fake credit cards to withdraw about N$1.467 million (S$230,000) from automated teller machines, or ATMs, in Namibia.
The money is said to have been withdrawn from the accounts of customers of British bank Barclays between March 18 and Sept 26 in 2007.
All pleaded not guilty when the trial started in the High Court in the Namibian capital of Windhoek in March, according to reports in The New Era newspaper and other Namibian media.
