A 60-year-old resident of Thonon-les-Bains (Haute-Savoie) is suspected of fraud.
She would have scammed several people for damage estimated at more than 200,000 euros, reports Le Dauphiné Libéré, this Thursday.
The facts would have started in 2014.
The sexagenarian would have met a first victim in a Marian shrine.
While the latter was ill, the suspect allegedly offered to put her in touch with a fictitious Brazilian healer.
Thanks to the establishment of other fictitious characters, the Thononaise and her husband would then have managed to steal the rest of her savings, or nearly 150,000 euros.
Where did the money go ?
It was the victim's banker who discovered the scam and advised him to file a complaint.
After more than a year of investigation, police identified four other victims.
Each time they were sick and very religious people.
The couple must be tried for fraud on January 27, 2022 by the criminal court of Thonon-les-Bains.
For now, no one knows where the 200,000 euros from this scam went.
The couple would live modestly and the investigation would not have allowed to discover the slightest trace of this money.
