A scam worth thousands of euros targeting a parish priest has been uncovered in recent hours in Vobarno, leading to the arrest of a 31-year-old Romanian couple. The pair deceived the priest into handing over money for the medical treatment of a fictitious sick sister. The latest plea 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 fraud and ensuring justice was served. The two scammers were caught in the act and arrested for aggravated fraud in conspiracy, 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 said to amount to several thousand euros, a result of his generosity and kindness.
