Married couple defraud their wedding guests in Ciudad Rodrigo


13:15 |

A newly married couple has been arrested in Ciudad Rodrigo, Salamanca, after they defrauded the wedding guests.

They asked the guests for their personal data and DNI identity cards using the excuse that Valladolid Ayuntamiento wanted them to formalise the wedding, and then used the data and other falsified documents to obtain mortgage credits.

The Gaceta de Salamanca reports that the Guardia Civil think that as many as 100 people have been defrauded in the Ciudad Rodrigo district and in Medina del Campo, Valladolid.

The Guardia Civil codenamed their work as ‘Operación Enlance’ and say that two disabled brothers with 70% incapacity were among those defrauded.

The couple even carried a portable scanner with them, so that it was easy for them to copy the guests’ documents. The man claimed that he had some extra watches from the company where he works, but he needed the DNI to justify to his boss giving them as gifts.

The couple have been released on bail and with charges remaining after making a first declaration to the judge.
