The sorcerer disappeared as soon as he received the property, which prompted the couple to resort to the criminal judiciary, where he was convicted in the Court of First Instance, and his partner was later convicted of the appeal after being acquitted in the first degree.
In the civil lawsuit, Lawyer Zahra Verdun called for the abolition of the actions that were carried out as a result of fraud, and the recovery of the market value of the land and vehicles, as well as compensation for psychological damage.
