Revealed: Conversations of Fuel Station Fraud Ring in Greece

Published January 23, 2026, 10:28

Conversations have been revealed involving members of a fraud ring that was manipulating fuel pumps across Greece, netting over 25 million euros in five years. The ring, allegedly led by a figure involved in 20 fuel station companies, used special software to reduce the amount of fuel dispensed to customers. The conversations reveal how employees responded to customer complaints (“It’s stuck, it happens in many cars”), as well as the brazen behavior of ring members towards each other. In one conversation, members discuss how to “fix” a pump for a relative, while in another, a customer complains that their tank isn’t being filled due to the cameras.
