A thousands-of-euros scam targeting a priest has been uncovered in recent hours in Vobarno, leading to the arrest of a couple of 31-year-old Romanian citizens. The duo deceived the priest by convincing him to hand over money for the medical care of a fictitious sick sister. The latest request for help raised the priest’s suspicions, prompting him to contact the Carabinieri of the Salò Company, thus initiating an investigation.
The priest’s report proved crucial in exposing the scam and ensuring justice. The two fraudsters were arrested in the act for aggravated fraud in complicity and were subsequently brought before the Brescia Court for a direct trial. The total amount of donations made by the priest over the months is estimated to be several thousand euros, a testament to his generosity and kind-heartedness.
