Illegal car dealer
Victim wanted: Pictures of fraudster published
Who knows this man? The police are now publishing photos of the international fraudster (55) in order to find more victims.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen No fewer than 200 cases of fraud in Germany, Carinthia and also in Lower Austria are said to be attributable to an illegal car dealer from Italy, the "Krone" reported.
The 55-year-old even managed to escape from prison in 2021 after being sentenced to 16 years in prison in 2016. Since then, he has probably earned his living through fraud. The man secured his "main income" by taking over and then selling leased cars, which he had previously taken over under a false name and with stolen IDs.
The 55-year-old had come to the attention of the police due to rental fraud around Villach. The illegal car dealer is currently in custody. In Austria alone, the damage amounts to several 100,000 euros, in Germany it is likely to be many times higher.
Police publish photographs
The police are looking for more victims and are now publishing photographs of the fraudster. "The publication of the images of the 55-year-old is necessary because it is intended to enable the identification of further victims of the man, who is acting under a number of different identities," said the police.
