Because the man himself did not have a computer, the social worker made payments for him via the internet using his laptop. However, he also transferred money to his own account. The man’s entire savings account, more than 20,000 thousand euros, was completely emptied. He also channeled money through a friend’s account. The old man was often there himself but did not notice it, said the Amersfoorter in court. The financial administrator of the man was kept at a distance by the aid worker, according to the Public Prosecution Service, because he had something to hide. The administrator thought that the victim withdrew money himself and kept it at home.
