Shocking fraud: 73-year-old loses two million euros in jewelry!

A scandalous case shakes the population: a 73-year-old Lower Austrian was the victim of a perfidious fraud, who claimed over two million euros in valuable jewelry as prey. According to the reports of Krone , the frightened pensioner trusted a false policeman who was inspector Sebastian Wimmer. In the fear of an alleged “Romanian gang”, she gave the suitcase with her valuable property against the assurance of the police for safety. The 19-year-old, who was professionally set as a car mechanic, who was handing over, does not think much about the value of the prey and claims not to know what he received.

The background of the fraud

The young man who acted as a "pick -up" confesses to being involved in the criminal network because he could no longer afford his drug use. It was recruited by a call center from an organization in Izmir, Türkiye. According to the public prosecutor, this organization has massive psychological pressure on the victims and attracts them to the trap with fraud stitches. The prey, including the exquisite jewelry of the pensioner, are said to have been transported to Turkey.

In his first interrogation, the apprentice revealed everything he knew and made it clear that he is by no means the main person. The case shows the dark side of the manipulative fraud stitches, which are particularly targeted by the elderly. The process is already running, several pick-up has been charged and the 19-year-old could serve up to ten years in prison if the allegations are confirmed. These machinations underline the need for sensitization measures against such fraudsters that lead loyal people behind light.
