Police in Elche have arrested two men for allegedly defrauding a woman with legal incapacity out of over fifty thousand euros. The suspects reportedly misled her into making several bank transfers and credit card payments. This investigation was launched after the victim’s brother filed a complaint about the suspicious activity in her bank accounts.

In his report, the brother highlighted two significant transfers of fourteen thousand and thirty thousand euros to an unknown account. The Elche police examined these transactions, noticing expenses that did not align with the victim’s usual lifestyle. This prompted them to delve deeper into her account activity.

The investigation led police to identify one suspect, a local resident who exploited the woman’s vulnerable condition. Furthermore, the inquiry revealed that the suspects had used her credit card to purchase a vehicle worth six thousand eight hundred euros, which the woman unknowingly funded.

Consequently, both suspects, aged forty-seven and fifty-seven, have been arrested and are now in police custody. They have been presented to the Elche Investigating Court for further legal proceedings.
