A detainee and his sister swindled six young women out of over 300,000 lei. The Prosecutor General’s Office (PGO) completed the investigation into the swindles and sent the case to court, Info-Prim Neo reports.
According to the PGO, the man got 20 years in jail for murder and theft and was serving his sentence in the penitentiary in Cricova. Being behind bars, he planned a series of swindles together with his sister.
In July 2010 – October 2011, the prisoner, through the agency of a social networking site and a mobile phone, got acquainted with six young women. He convinced them that he runs a company that imports luxury cars from Germany.
Using different pretexts, like that he owns an apartment in Chisinau and will sell it cheaper or that he must immediately repay a debt, he asked the girls to lend him money. His sister met with the girls and took the money.
The police asked the Ministry of Justice to thoroughly inspect the penitentiaries and liquidate the illegalities, causes and conditions that favored them and to prevent similar cases in the future.
