A Brazilian woman has been arrested by police on suspicion of fraud and appropriation of assets with a total value of up to 100 million USD (equivalent to 3,300 billion VND). However, it is worth mentioning here that the victim is… her biological mother.
In January 2020, Sabine Coll Boghici (48 years old) facilitated the remaining 3 accomplices to approach her mother, who will be provided with important information by Sabine to quickly grasp her mother’s psychology. They will show that they are “seeing through” the inside, knowing both the past and predicting the future of Sabine’s mother – Genevieve Boghici (82 years old).
Then, the fake trio offered to support the victim mentally and charged hundreds of thousands of dollars for psychological “support”. And when the victim became suspicious and refused to continue to pay, she was placed under house arrest at her home, threatened, beaten and robbed of the art collection she inherited from her late husband.
Her husband Genevieve Boghici is an art collector. The value of the artworks that Sabine appropriated from her mother is about 724 million Brazilian reals (equivalent to 3,300 billion VND). Notable among the stolen paintings is the painting “Sol Poente” by Brazilian artist Tarsila done by Amaral in 1949. This painting is worth the equivalent of 1,425 billion.
After nearly a year of psychological manipulation and much control in her life, Ms. Sabine decided to report the incident to the police for the police to investigate. The incident attracted the attention of not only the Brazilian media, but also the international media. According to the police investigation, the manipulation plan to defraud the elderly mother had been carried out by Sabine in the past two years. , mainly through psychological measures. Four suspects involved in Sabine’s plan have been arrested, the remaining two suspects are on the run.
Police said the suspects in this case are facing charges of fraud, theft, extortion, unlawful detention of others and links to criminal gangs.
