The criminal court of Béziers (Hérault) on Friday sentenced a 31-year-old woman to 9 months in prison, for acts of fraud.

The thirty-something had already been sentenced several times for similar facts: two other sentences of 3 and 6 months in prison were added to the sentence handed down.

She will therefore have to carry out an 18-month stay behind bars.

A false document at the header of an association

The thirty-something, of Romanian nationality, was arrested on January 6 by police officers, who found that she was approaching elderly people in the parking lot of a large area, to whom she asked for money after having collected their signatures on a false document, at the header of a disability association.

The victims claimed that the mis en cause had passed for a hearing impaired person, indicates Raphaël Balland, the public prosecutor of Béziers.
