Between June 2021 and May 2022, an 80-year-old man living abroad noticed a multitude of direct debits from his bank account based in Toulouse. In total, in eleven months, nearly 14,000 euros are thus transferred to the account of another person. And the latter is far from unknown to the octogenarian. This is one of his neighbors who had come to his aid by serving as an interpreter when he went one day to his bank branch.
Faced with the sum, the retiree decided to file a complaint. The general investigations unit of the national police summoned the 40-year-old to the police station last week. Unknown to the services, the latter admitted having made transfers. But denied the fraudulent nature of these, indicating that he had the old gentleman’s verbal agreement to make them. A justification that has not really convinced since he is summoned next November to explain himself to justice.
