A nationwide investigation led to the arrest of a 32-year-old man from Klagenfurt – the man is said to have financed his gambling with a particularly brutal scam.
Information from the Federal Criminal Police Office made it possible to arrest the 32-year-old. After an intensive investigation, the police were able to demonstrate a total of 25 cases of commercial fraud. In nine of these cases, there are no reports due to a lack of data.
In March of this year, the man created an account on a second-hand exchange – and is said to have offered gold coins, gold chains and other gold jewelry there. He also stated that he wanted to sell several cell phones. With this scam, the 32-year-old took away several people who were transferring money to him. The man opened three accounts at different banks so that the fraud would not be noticed immediately.
The man from Klagenfurt told police that he was addicted to gambling. The investigations are now in full swing, the total damage amounts to more than 10,000 euros. The man was arrested and transferred to Klagenfurt prison.
