Prisoners are massively ordering canteen Belgian prison

beveren - At least thirty detainees have shopped for free thanks to a programming error in the digital canteen system of the prison in the Belgian municipality of Beveren. It would involve a fraud of tens of thousands of euros. Belgian media report that.

The detainees are suspected of fraud within the prison walls. A month ago, digital fraud was discovered. 'Through that computer system, prisoners can buy all sorts of things', says a judicial source to Het Laatste Nieuws (HLN). 'They can be cigarettes, drinks or food, but also stamps, writing materials, cooking pots for the microwave in the cells or shower products. You can compare it with a digital neighborhood store. '

The police have started a criminal investigation. The thirty fraudsters were called to the management on Friday and received a disciplinary sanction.

According to the paper, within the prison walls, the story goes that 'the trick has been applied since the prison opened four years ago. '
