The former couple was suspected of having scammed a garage and close friends, between Hayange and Rodemack, from 2021 to 2022. The case was mentioned in criminal court, in Thionville, last month. The court has just handed down its decision. The ex-companion is found guilty of fraud, he receives twelve months in prison, six months of which are suspended subject to the obligation to compensate the victims. In addition, the judges also imposed a management ban on him for five years. The man, aged 37, was involved in the purchase of a BMW. The seller’s garage would have only received PVs but no transfer for payment of the vehicle.
Two scams
The ex-partner, prosecuted for complicity in fraud, received a four-month suspended prison sentence. Indeed, the couple was also summoned for having embezzled nearly 30,000 euros from friends. “My partner at the time assured me that he was starting a business in construction. So I spoke about it to friends who wanted to renovate their apartment,” explained the defendant, aged around forty, during the trial. She maintains that she was unaware that the money had gone elsewhere. The court orders in particular the reimbursement of this sum.
