Miles Car Rental Raided Over Suspected €Mln Fraud

Authorities are probing a suspected multimillion-euro fraud at Enterprise Car Rental, involving two men aged 36 and 43. The investigation, sparked by discrepancies between parking violations and fee payments, led to police raids on the company's Berlin offices this week.

Enterprise Car Rental is accused of manipulating GPS data to dodge car rental fees. The alleged fraud came to light after a noticeable deviation was discovered between recorded violations and payments. The investigation, launched following this anomaly, is now focusing on two individuals, both in their mid-to-late 30s.

The company's operations have been disrupted by the probe, with police raids conducted on Wednesday. Meanwhile, another car rental company, Robben & Wientjes, has ceased operations this year, though it's unclear if the two incidents are connected.

The investigation into Enterprise Car Rental's suspected multi-million-euro fraud is ongoing. The company and the two individuals under scrutiny have not yet commented on the allegations. Authorities are working to uncover the full extent of the suspected fraud and bring those responsible to justice.
