The Civil Guard has arrested a 44-year-old man from Cameroon as the alleged perpetrator of fraud. The crime came to light after a 40-year-old Spanish man claimed that he had been cheated out 26,000 euros after the accused promised he could double his money using smuggled tinted bank notes and a special chemical process.
The scammer invests a certain amount of money in the fraud, turning the ‘tinted’ money into legal bank notes, which is witnessed by the victim. It is alleged he then encouraged the victim to hand over more and more notes before fleeing with the cash.
