The Court of Instruction Number 4 of Arrecife will try A.C.P.C. on December 10 in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, accused of a **crime of fraud and receiving stolen goods against an event organization company** to which he claimed payment of a debt
The events date back to November 16, 2021, when the accused, along with another investigated individual, M.B., whose whereabouts are unknown, "with the aim of unjustly enriching themselves and driven by a deceitful purpose, sent an **email** to the commercial entity Preventos Media S.L. impersonating the company Grenke Rent S.L."Specifically, they claimed that the money from this debt should be deposited into the BBVA bank account held by the investigated individual M.B. or into the Cajamar bank account held by the accused A.C.P.C.
In response to this email request, the company Preventos Media made three bank transfers on November 17 of that same year from its account to that of the accused at BBVA for a total of 54,868.04 euros.
The investigated M.B. and the accused A.C.P.C. incorporated this money into their assets, "admitting the possibility that said money originated from fraudulent activity and had been transferred without the consent of its owner".
Therefore, the Prosecutor's Office accuses them of a crime of fraud and another of receiving stolen goods. For the first crime, they request four years in prison and special disqualification from the right to passive suffrage during the term of the sentence, while for the second crime they request three years in prison and also special disqualification from the right to passive suffrage during the term of the sentence. Also, the payment of costs.
However, if the Public Prosecutor's Office ultimately only charges him with the crime of receiving stolen goods, the defendant would serve three years in prison. Finally, the defendant A.C.P.C. will have to **compensate the entity** Preventos Medias with 54,868.04 euros for the economic damages caused
