Fraudsters used AI-assisted impersonation to steal €95 million from Fideuram, Intesa Sanpaolo’s private-banking arm, according to Reuters sources.
The scheme began with a message that appeared to come from Intesa’s chief executive and continued with a call using a replicated lawyer’s voice. Funds were transferred to overseas accounts before the bank detected irregularities.
Authorities and banks recovered about €53 million, while roughly €36 million remained missing. Intesa and Fideuram declined to comment to Reuters.
