Gang of fraudsters targeted elderly people in Corinthia
According to Ta Nea, police officers from the Loutraki Department investigated five cases of fraud and attempted fraud against elderly people in the wider Corinthia region. A 43-year-old man and a 44-year-old woman are facing charges in connection with the case, against whom a file was opened for criminal organisation and fraud.
The Greek Police reports that at least one other accomplice is involved in the case, whose identity has not yet been established.
The members of the group allegedly approached elderly pedestrians, claiming to be acquainted with their relatives. After gaining their trust, they persuaded them to get into vehicles and transported them to bank ATMs, asking them to make withdrawals. In other cases they accompanied them to their homes, where they took cash or valuables from them.
The composition of the group is said to have changed from case to case, whilst different vehicles were used when approaching the victims.
The investigation revealed that the group operated from late December 2025 until April 2026. The total illegal financial gain they are alleged to have obtained exceeds €14,000.
The file will be submitted to the competent judicial authorities. The investigation by the Loutraki Police Department continues with the aim of establishing whether the accused are involved in additional cases, and identifying their accomplice of unknown identity.
