The shameless individual, a forty-something from Azerbaijan, did not just squat the premises. He opened the mail, put the water and electricity meters in his name, forged his victim’s signature to siphon off bank accounts, and began to do work financed with the money of the hapless owner.
The old Helvetian did not suspect a thing.
It was Tracfin, the monitoring service of the Ministry of the Economy and Finance, which spotted curious financial flows before alerting the public prosecutor of Nice.
The latter asked the economic and financial division of the judicial police to investigate.
the long-lost victim
The Nice police quickly confirm that Azeri and his wife occupy the villa without rights or title. And they worry: the official owner cannot be found. Is he deceased? Was he buried on the property?
Thanks to the cooperation of the Swiss justice, the retiree was finally found alive after long searches.
“The cuckoo”, he was dislodged Wednesday by the search and intervention brigade to be placed in custody at the Auvare barracks. It will be presented to the prosecution this Thursday morning which plans to open a judicial investigation. In particular, investigations must continue abroad.
The behavior of Aigrefin should earn him an indictment for criminal association, fraud and money laundering in an organized group, home invasion, forgery and use of forgery …
The amount of sums embezzled was not specified but they are substantial, especially since the individual could hope, after ten years, to claim ownership of the property he occupied.
