The defendant, accused of defrauding more than 178,000 euros from fourteen people by pretending to have access to the purchase of vacation apartments in Playa Blanca, acknowledged the facts during the trial held this Monday in Gran Canaria and accepted a one-year prison sentence.
According to Antena 3, the defendant reached an agreement with the Prosecutor's Office, who initially requested a four-year prison sentence. Now, although her sentence has been reduced by three years, she must also pay a fine of 2,640 euros and compensate those affected for the amount she defrauded from each of them.
Thus, what is stated in the indictment is considered proven, which is that "between the months of April and November 2009", C.D.V.C. pretended to several people to have access to the purchase of vacation apartments in Playa Blanca, making these individuals believe that upon payment of a deposit or guarantee" that they had to give her, "they could access the auction of the apartments, where they would be awarded under more advantageous conditions than those of the market".
She incorporated the money into her assets
In this way, up to a total of 14 people handed over different amounts of money ranging from 2,500 to 68,500 euros, reaching a total of 178,595, when she "had absolutely no real intention of proceeding with the purchase of any property". And "after deceiving the victims in order to get them to transfer the amounts, far from applying them to the purchase and sale of real estate, she incorporated them into her assets".
Likewise, the indictment stated that the defendant made reservations at a hotel in Playa Blanca during different dates between March and August 2009 "under the guise of paying the expenses derived from them, with the intention of obtaining unjust enrichment, generating an expense in the hotel of 4,645.16 euros". However, after the commission of the events, specifically on June 2, 2010, "the defendant settled her debt with the hotel".
Similarly, "in different payments" that were made between 2010 and 2013, the defendant paid "a total of 3,186 euros" to an affected party who at the time had given her 8,120; that "she paid 2,801 euros" to another injured party who had given her 7,000; and that "she transferred 1,613 euros" to another victim who had paid her 4,000, amounts that were subtracted in the list of compensations that were claimed.
