The Guardia Civil in San Vicente del Raspeig has arrested a former employee of an insurance business in Alicante. They are accused of cheating at least 27 people in the province of Alicante out of more than €800,000. The woman who was arrested, whose spouse has also been accused in the case, is said to have used her job at an insurance agency and the trust of her clients to steal the money that had built up in their insurance policies.
The Investigation Area of the Guardia Civil of San Vicente started the operation last September after a man reported that 45,000 euros had been taken from his retirement insurance, which he had been paying into for more than 35 years.
After the first questions, authorities were able to find the suspected culprit, who used to work for an insurance management firm in the West, the old Catalana de Occidente. They had just been fired since the company found some problems.
The Guardia Civil said that the victims were picked because they were old or in other weak positions. In this way, the criminal was able to take their money without anyone else knowing by taking advantage of the trust they had in her. She moved the money from their insurance plans to accounts in her name.
On November 2nd, the accused went to the Guardia Civil barracks in San Vicente del Raspeig and was detained for identity theft, fraud, and falsifying public papers.
She was released on bail after being brought before the Court of Instruction Number 1 in San Vicente del Raspeig. The person who is being held is a 49-year-old woman from Spain who lives in Alicante. A 28-year-old Colombian man who is her partner has also been looked into in connection with the alleged events. It has been found that he is the owner of one of the accounts to which the money was sent.
The Guardia Civil station’s Investigation Unit in San Vicente del Raspeig carried out Operation “Yosir1.” Agents have already found 27 victims, and more may come forward.
Some victims actually told the National Police in Alicante about this same individual last summer. One of them said that she reported the scam that took more than €100,000 from her and has been waiting for months to get her money back. Occident, the insurance firm, told her she wouldn’t have any problems, but she still hasn’t gotten her money.
On the other hand, the Guardia Civil has asked the court to get involved in the bank accounts that the woman who was arrested used.
