A 64-year-old woman from Kosovo was convicted by the Bülach District Court and sentenced to 30 months in prison, of which 9 months must be served in prison and 21 months are suspended, for repeatedly defrauding a Swiss pensioner from whom she took about 1.1 million Swiss francs between 2012 and 2016.
The court also ordered her deportation from Switzerland for seven years.
According to prosecutors, the accused built a relationship of trust with the victim and obtained money from him by claiming various stories about debts, accidents, and other financial problems.
The pensioner handed over the money to her personally, even during trips to Sarajevo, while the fraud was uncovered in 2024 when the woman was caught in the act and arrested.
