Police from the Tel Aviv District Fraud Unit arrested a renovation contractor from the north earlier this week on suspicion of exploiting an 81-year-old woman from Holon for NIS 750,000. The court released him to house arrest for a week.
An investigation is underway in the Tel Aviv District Police's fraud division following a complaint by an 81-year-old woman from Holon, which indicates that a man who carried out renovation work in her home began a "journey" of oppression and deceit towards her, when he scattered many checks from her account and even gambled tens of thousands of shekels, purchased many products and more, all out of the funds he received. Allegedly, fraudulently. This is about NIS 750,000.
Upon receiving the complaint, the investigators collected testimonies, collected various documents and managed to identify the suspect. Yesterday, detectives from the Tel Aviv District Fraud Unit arrested the suspect, a 49-year-old resident of Afula, and he was taken for interrogation.
On Tuesday, the suspect was brought to a hearing to extend his detention at the Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court, where the defense argued that this was a civil dispute and not a criminal one, the judge ruled that there was reasonable suspicion that the acts had been committed, but at a low threshold, and released the suspect on bail and to house arrest for seven days.
