Munich (dpa) - jewelry, gold and tens of thousands of euros in cash: Today, the trial of two men begins at the Munich Regional Court I who, as false police officers, are said to have stolen a fortune from several old people.

They are charged with commercial and gang fraud and gang theft.

The trial against other alleged members of the gang had already started on Thursday.

Again and again, older people in particular fall for the widespread scam in which alleged police officers call and get their victims to surrender money, jewelry and other valuables.

The police are constantly warning of this, but fraudsters are successful.
