Stargazer faces trial over false promises
A self-styled astrologist from Thessaloniki was yesterday ordered to stand trial on fraud charges after allegedly obtaining some 145,000 euros from her friend by claiming she could lift an evil spell so the woman’s partner would return to her. The unnamed astrologist allegedly convinced her friend to give her the money over a nine-month period while promising that she was using her powers to get the couple back together again. However, the suspect forced her friend to sign declarations that stated she was loaning the money to the alleged fraudster. The alleged victim recently reported the matter to Thessaloniki police, saying that it was now clear that her partner would not be coming back. A court of misdemeanors ruled that the accused should face charges of repeated fraud.
