Arrested in New Philadelphia, a 39-year-old man was sentenced to a total of 6 years in prison for joint fraud while awaiting a court decision.

In particular, a 39-year-old man rented earthmoving machines and trucks as the owner of an earthmoving company to carry out work.

He and an accomplice then put the cars up for sale looking for potential buyers to scam.

Conscientious buyers gave them money for cars, but they never received them.

The total profit received by the 39-year-old from his illegal activities is at least 120,000 euros.

The 39-year-old man was arrested after background checks and searches by members of the tracing department of the Attica Security Directorate.

The detainee will be brought before the competent prosecutor.
