Press Report: Real Estate Fraud Victim Loses €50,000.. 7 Years of Deception and Procrastination
Solingen – What began as a promising investment in the German real estate market turned into an ongoing nightmare for an investor who fell victim to a systematic embezzlement operation exceeding €50,000. For more than seven years, the victim continues to await the recovery of his rights, while the other party persists in a policy of “procrastination” and offering flimsy excuses.
Case Details: Exploiting the COVID Crisis as Cover
The facts indicate that the accused exploited the COVID-19 pandemic period to illegally sell two apartments owned by the victim and misappropriate their proceeds. The matter did not stop there; he exerted pressure to force the victim to sign new contracts ostensibly aimed at providing legal legitimacy to the sale, while the true objective was to cover up the embezzlement and prevent immediate legal prosecution.
A Web of Lies and Procrastination Tactics
What distinguishes this case is the professional approach to psychologically manipulating the victim. For years, false promises of payment have followed a recurring pattern to keep the victim in a state of false hope:
-
Fictitious deadlines: The accused initially claimed that payment would be made by the end of 2025.
-
Daily and weekly promises: Payment is postponed from week to week, and from day to day, without any actual execution.
-
Flimsy excuses: The accused offered misleading excuses, sometimes claiming that “the banks are closed” and other times that “the partner responsible for transferring the funds is unavailable.”
Warning of “Professional Fraud”
The evidence suggests that the perpetrator possesses exceptional ability to manipulate people and deceive them into believing his sincerity while planning not to return any funds. The victim described the situation, stating: “He is a professional at stealing people’s money and playing with their emotions, and it is clear that he has no intention of voluntarily returning a single euro.”
It appears that resorting to the judiciary and security authorities is the only remaining course of action for the victim to recover his stolen funds after years of false promises.
