A man accused of defrauding his elderly mother will face justice next Wednesday in Palmacapital of the Spanish island of Majorca.
The sum is around 87 million Chilean pesos (more than 100 thousand euros).
According to the brief from the prosecutor in charge of the investigation, the defendant, taking advantage of his mother’s age, told her that in the checking account he had, and in which both he and his sister were authorized, they could charge embargoes that weighed on the latter.
In this way, he convinced his mother to take the money out of the account and give it to him. All this under the pretext that she would open a new account, from which, in addition, he would obtain benefits. Thus, he managed to get his mother to give him 91 thousand euros (78 million Chilean pesos), which he incorporated into his personal assets.

The defendant, according to the prosecutor, also convinced the woman to “help” her manage her estate, so that she would open a bank account and include him as a mandate. There, her mother received a pension and rent. In total, he had 8 thousand euros, which her son entered through her bank card.
Everything was going “fine” until June 2020, when the account finally returned a negative balance.
Another precedent is that in March 2020, the defendant contacted the tenant of a woman’s property, to pay the rent in hand instead of depositing it into the checking account. He received three months at 810 euros (just over 700,000 Chilean pesos).
Thus, the Spanish prosecutor’s office considered the facts constituting the crime of continued fraud, with the aggravating kinship. For this, he requests 5 years in prison, a fine of 90 thousand euros and compensation of 101,430 euros ($78 million and $87 million, respectively).
