An elderly person, PE, realizes that he is running out of money in his bank account. She informs her son who will contact the bank to clarify the situation. He will discover that BP, the person who comes to help his disabled mother in a wheelchair for a few hours a day, when her father is away, has diverted money from her mother's account to hers and to that of his companion.
BP, 48, the mother of six, is being sued for fraud to the detriment of a vulnerable person between October 2017 and October 2018. She appeared before the Saint Martin Criminal Court on Thursday, September 19.
At the stand, BP explained that she had been authorized by the victim (deceased since the facts) to make the transfers. She said that it had been noted that she had to collect the sum of 900 euros each month in return for her services, but that in the end PE only gave her 275 euros.
An argument that the vice-prosecutor refutes: "the difference is 625 euros or the statements show transfers of a total amount of 900 euros per month."
In total, BP withdrew in the space of five months from the account of PE 10 euros in his favor and 250 euros in favor of his companion. The children who have joined a civil action alongside their father, estimate the damage to more than 4 euros, money from the insurance benefits received after Irma, would also have been misappropriated.
After deliberation, the court imposed a sentence of twelve months in prison, six of which were suspended with probation including the obligation to compensate the victims (children and spouses) as well as the prohibition of an activity in connection with people with disabilities for a period of five years.
