Billionaire falls victim to “shock call” – looting millions

“The unknown perpetrators took advantage of one so-called shock call as a scam,” a police spokesman told the German Press Agency (dpa) after the crime became known: “They claimed that their victim’s daughter had caused a fatal traffic accident. A pregnant woman, who is also said to be the daughter of a Serbian diplomat, had an accident.”

Hand over jewelry, watches, money and gold

In order to meet the demands of this alleged diplomat, money or valuables are needed, they say Con artists. “The following two handover situations occurred, for which we cannot provide any background information due to the ongoing investigation,” said the spokesman: “Jewellery, watches, cash and gold were stolen.”

As “Bild” now reports, the equivalent value of the stolen money and valuables is said to be four million euros. The criminal police have also set up an investigative commission because of this large amount, as a spokesman confirmed to the dpa.

“The officers are in regular contact with the victim and his family. There are some investigative approaches, some of which have already been processed and some of which are still being processed,” it says.
