A man was arrested by the National Police in Alicante on fraud charges connected to a high-value car deal. He allegedly bought two luxury vehicles for a total of 115,000 euros, paying only 35,000 euros instead of the previously agreed 140,000 euros. The case centers on an apparently deceitful bargain that left the seller short of the agreed payment.
The investigation began after the seller, who works in the business of buying and selling vehicles, filed a formal complaint. Over the course of the deal, she made three transfers totaling 35,000 euros, believing the remaining balance would be settled once she received proceeds from the sale of the vehicles that had already been agreed upon. Trusting the buyer, the seller delivered the cars as arranged, only to discover months later that the full payment had still not been made.
According to police sources, the vehicles in question had undergone modifications without the consent of the owner. This discovery prompted the seller to report the incident, contributing to the police investigation that followed. The case took shape as investigators traced the buyer’s actions and the sequence of transfers, focusing on the trajectory of the two luxury cars involved in the alleged fraud.
Law enforcement officials tracked the purchaser to determine why the total price of 115,000 euros had not been paid in full. The inquiry examined the buyer’s financial arrangements and questioned whether the vehicles were transferred to another party in the interim, complicating the seller’s ability to recover the funds or reclaim ownership of the cars.
After a thorough review of the evidence and a series of procedural steps, authorities arrested the suspect on fraud charges. The investigation continued to establish whether the vehicles were ever transferred to a corporate entity or altered in a way that hindered the seller’s rights to the full payment. The case underscores the risk inherent in high-value vehicle transactions and the importance of clear, enforceable payment terms and ownership verification in such deals.
The individual is a 37-year-old Spaniard who remains in custody as legal proceedings proceed. He is currently awaiting court appearances, with prosecutors seeking to resolve the matter and determine the appropriate penalties if guilt is established. The case provides a stark reminder of the potential for fraud in vehicle markets and the need for rigorous verification in motor vehicle transactions.
