Prosecutor remains unharmed. - Dementia patients swindled for 50,000 euros by treacherous therapist.

An older woman misplaced a significant amount of money in her furniture unknowingly. Fortunately, the honest man who found the cash, Thomas H., returned it to the police. The police returned the funds to the rightful owner, Elfriede W., but things quickly went south from there.

A confidant of Elfriede's and a physiotherapist, Maik K., was allegedly involved in the embezzlement and misuse of her money. Maik K., who helped organize the sale of her furniture, supposedly used this opportunity to steal her money. When the old lady regained access to her funds, the therapist reportedly tried to seize all of it from her.

The CID team managed to trace the suspected fraudster through bank transfers. A bank employee noticed the suspicious transactions and notified the police. The accused then attempted to purchase several luxury cars using the stolen funds, according to the prosecution.

During the preliminary hearings, he had not addressed these accusations. If found guilty, he could face up to ten years in prison.
