“Great deal” online, but the motorhome doesn’t exist: trial for aggravated fraud

A trial has begun in Perugia for fraud involving the sale of a non-existent motorhome. On September 2, 2024, an ad was posted on Subito.it offering an Elnag motorhome for €8,500. A 68-year-old pensioner from Sigillo transferred the full amount via instant bank transfer to the seller’s account, after which the seller disappeared and the motorhome was never delivered. The prosecution charges the defendant with aggravated fraud, citing the victim’s reduced ability to defend himself (remote transaction) and the defendant’s prior convictions for similar offenses.
