Fake company
Defrauded of several tens of thousands of euros
A 59-year-old Dutchman living in Spittal was defrauded of several tens of thousands of euros by a 30-year-old Bosnian living in East Tyrol in the period from March 9 to April 8, 2024.
The Dutchman commissioned the Bosnian's company to repair his roof. The advance payments were covered by an insurance company, which transferred the amount of several tens of thousands of euros to the 30-year-old entrepreneur's company.
The latter commissioned a company from Graz to carry out the order for materials worth several tens of thousands of euros.
Nobody turned up
However, no workers showed up at the construction site at the agreed start of work on April 8th. The 30-year-old company boss could not be contacted either. The 59-year-old client filed a complaint with the police as he suspected that he had been the victim of fraud. The police investigation revealed that the Bosnian-born man had probably absconded abroad.
The 59-year-old and the Graz-based company suffered considerable material damage.
