A bogus car dealer has been convicted of stealing €12,000 and gold coins from an 81-year-old man. The court heard that the defendant had posed as a legitimate car dealer and gained the trust of the elderly victim. He then took advantage of this trust to steal a significant amount of money and valuable gold coins from the victim.
The defendant had denied the charges, but the court found him guilty after reviewing the evidence presented. The conviction serves as a reminder to be cautious when dealing with strangers, especially when it comes to financial transactions.
The case highlights the importance of protecting vulnerable individuals, such as the elderly, from financial exploitation. The court’s decision to convict the defendant sends a strong message that such crimes will not be tolerated.
