Man from Třebíč swindled partner out of over 750,000 crowns, court imposed conditional sentence
The District Court in Třebíč this week handed down a final conviction against a man with the initials V. K. for fraud, credit fraud, and unauthorised handling of his partner's personal data. According to the ruling, he caused her at least 750,886 crowns in damage. As trebicsky.denik.cz reports, the case began with the couple meeting on social media at the end of 2024.
The man and woman first met at Karlovo náměstí in Třebíč. Their meetings continued, the relationship deepened, and according to the prosecution, the couple planned a shared future together. It was at this point that the man allegedly began to abuse his partner's trust.
Under various pretexts — house repairs, debt repayment, other expenses — he asked her for money and linked providing it to the continuation of their relationship. The woman obtained a loan of 300,000 crowns for him, and subsequently another loan of 450,000 crowns. She transferred the money to him gradually in instalments, including smaller payments in the tens and hundreds of crowns.
In total, she sent 780,486 crowns to his accounts. In return, she received only 29,600 crowns.
Misuse of documents and internet banking
The case did not end with the extraction of cash. "Subsequently, the defendant, without the woman's knowledge, used her personal documents, proof of income and login credentials for internet banking. In her name, he applied for further loans from several financial companies. Some applications were rejected, but in several cases he was successful," the ruling states.
The victim's account was thus credited with additional loans totalling 113,000 crowns, which the man also transferred to his own accounts.
The court found V. K. guilty of fraud, credit fraud, unauthorised access to a computer system, and the crime of unauthorised obtaining and counterfeiting of a payment instrument. He was sentenced to a total of three years' imprisonment with conditional postponement for four and a half years. During the probationary period, he is required, according to his means, to compensate for the damage caused.
The victim woman was awarded a claim for compensation of 888,878 crowns. "The ruling is final," confirmed Jaroslava Valášková, spokeswoman for the District Court in Třebíč.
Vysočina region dealing with series of similar cases
The case of V. K. is not unique in the Vysočina region. Courts in Jihlava dealt with the case of a man who swindled three women out of more than 3.2 million crowns over several years — according to the prosecutor, he abused their emotional attachment and obtained the money under the pretext of business deals or financial problems.
Another man from the Jihlava region was sentenced this year to four and a half years' unconditional imprisonment for obtaining nearly two million crowns from two women and losing the money gambling.
The largest case is currently being investigated in the Žďár region. Criminal investigators charged a man who allegedly obtained more than 53 million crowns from several people over eight years. He allegedly deprived one woman of more than 52 million crowns, among other things under the promise of a shared future.
Similar cases combine romantic promises, emotional manipulation, loans, and misuse of personal data. The result is typically damage in the hundreds of thousands to millions of crowns, which victims remain burdened with long after the relationship ends.
