Four people will be tried in San Sebastian for allegedly defrauding a woman with fake coupons
Three men and one woman face prison sentences of between three and four years, allegedly accused of offering a millionaire prize from the ONCE draw and several other allegedly awarded coupons to a Donostiarra woman for several thousand euros.
According to the provisional indictment of the Public Prosecutor's Office, the events took place around 10:00 a.m. on 2 November 2022, when the accused woman and one of the defendants went to the victim in the street and allegedly assured her that they had several tickets from that draw, awarded with 30 million euros.
The text clarifies that, according to the other two defendants, the injured party was proposed to distribute two coupons for each of them, but in order to collect the prize, the victim would have to pay them EUR 10 000 beforehand, or the maximum amount his bank would allow him to withdraw from his account at that time.
So the injured man was taken by car to a branch where he took 3,000 euros to give to the defendants for part of the alleged reward.
Shortly after the alleged fraud, the officers arrested three of the defendants in a vehicle and the fourth in the vicinity of a shopping mall.
The victim was thus able to recover the 3,000 euros he had withdrawn from his bank account.
The Public Prosecutor's Office requests four years' imprisonment and a fine of 270 euros for three men and three years' imprisonment for the woman.
