Fraud cases in Volos courts

Overview

Legal proceedings regarding various fraudulent activities have been handled by courts in Volos, Greece.

The perpetrator impersonated a well-known doctor and claimed to be working with University of Oxford professors to solicit funds for a luxury construction project. The man received a six-month prison sentence, which was suspended for three years.

In a separate case, a 26-year-old man from Lamia appeared before the Volos Three-Member Misdemeanor Court facing allegations of telephone fraud involving bank card details.
