Late last year, in December, two women approached police officers who realized they had been scammed after failing to recover the money they had entrusted to a woman who had presented herself as a sorceress.
During the investigation, officials discovered that trustworthy women were caught in the trap of cheating in search of ways to bring success, happiness, health, and money into their lives.
Back in the fall of 2019, without commercial success, the Klaipėda resident, born in 1977, began to seek help and met a woman who presented herself as a sorceress on social media, who believed that she could attract success, well-being financial, stability, and 20 years of fortune telling experience.
To attract success in business, women were required to be rewarded with small amounts, which increased over time.
Until the end of 2020, the woman affected by the sorceress transferred various amounts of money to the specified account, as well as gave cash, which assured the sorcerer that it would “cleanse and recharge good energies.” In total, the sorceresses gave about 25 thousand. euros.
In similar circumstances, the suspect also deceived a Vilnius woman born in 1978, who began communicating with the sorcerer for help due to unhappy relationships, health and property issues, as well as on social media.
Initially, a woman who did not ask for any monetary reward for her personal advice and assistance gradually began to name the sums of money that were also intended to be “charged with good energy” and then repaid. In a few months, the sorceresses gave about 32 thousand. which, contrary to expectations, were not reimbursed.
On January 28, at approximately 11:40 a.m., the alleged sorceress, born in 1970, was arrested in the village of Bubiai, Kaunas district. It turned out that Kaunas residents had already been convicted of large-scale fraud in the past.
Following the interview of the woman, a decision will be made on the imposition of preventive measures.
At the end of last year, on December 21 and 28, officers from the Criminal Police Property Crimes Investigation Board of the Kaunas County Police Chief Commissariat launched a pretrial investigation for fraud under the Article 182 of the Penal Code. 2 d. Therefore, the suspect faces up to eight years in prison.
A pre-trial investigation has also been initiated into foreign property misappropriation under Article 183. 1 d. This is subject to public works or a fine or prison of up to three years.
The investigation is organized and led by prosecutors from the Kaunas District Attorney’s Office, Division 2 and the Alytus District Attorney’s Office.
