Miscellaneous – Justice | € 100,000 of jewelry purchased with bounced checks

Two defendants in this fraud case. 101,125 € of jewelry, missing in nature. Promised sworn, they do not know each other. This is in any case what supports the one who appears before the criminal court on Tuesday, June 30. The other accused, who came to the same jeweler in Thionville, a few days after Madame’s shopping, was absent at the hearing.

This March 21, 2015, the thirty-something goes to rue du Luxembourg. Well dressed, she shows her appetite for beautiful pieces. Breitling and Chopard watches, but not just… So many prestigious brands that curl their long eyelashes. Casually, she lets glimpse in her handbag a tidy sum in cash. We are talking about € 15,000. What reassure the boss, who exceptionally cash the check corresponding to the mood of the day of Madame. Or 32,400 €, backed by a photocopy of the identity card. He will never see a line credited to his bank account.

Three days later, the jeweler’s cash drawer will still have something to squeak about. € 69,125 for the purchase of jewelry, also paid by check, by a 23-year-old young man. There too, the Thionvillois will never see the color of this money.

The collective scam not retained

Faced with President Anne Rupp, the mother of four children, already convicted of similar cases, especially in Meurthe-et-Moselle, delivers her version of the facts. Her sponsors, whose identity she refuses to give, gave her the turnkey scenario: she pays with a check that belongs to her, gives them her sparkling harvest, in exchange for a good ticket. The other implicated, who presented himself just after the young woman to the jeweler, went there with her sister, but would be unknown to his radars. In the absence of decisive evidence, the court will not accept the collective fraud scheme. Regardless, they will have to compensate the victim.
