An Austrian dairy has been purchasing its filling machines from an Italian manufacturer for 20 years. The Austrians had already bought ten of these machines over the years, now number eleven was to follow. The contract was signed and, as agreed, the dairy received an initial request for payment of 130,000 euros. Apparently, as always, she came from Italy. The accountant was not surprised that this time the money should go to a different account than usual, namely at an Estonian bank, and instructed the payment.
