83-year-old Christine Moosbrugger is one of three victims who fell victim to a fraudster. After the trial of a 46-year-old Romanian woman, she spoke to the "Krone" newspaper and explains how the thieving magpie gained her trust.

Sometimes she pretended to be a cleaner, sometimes she rang the doorbell and asked to go to the toilet. Once the Romanian woman was inside the unsuspecting senior citizens' homes, she used the opportunity to steal! One of the three victims is Christine Moosbrugger. The apparently "nice woman" stole money and jewelry worth a total of 1,600 euros from her.
