The Mossos d'Esquadra arrested Albert Cavallé, known as 'the love scammer', on Thursday June 1 in Sant Boi de Llobregat (Barcelona) for allegedly scamming two more women who he had also met on a dating app, they have informed sources close to the case this Tuesday to Europa Press.
According to a statement from the Catalan police, they lent him 4,000 and 600 euros respectively after he allegedly told them that he was a doctor with high purchasing power but needed cash.
When they claimed the amount, he supposedly stopped answering their calls and messages, and the investigation remains open due to the possibility that it could be related to other events.
The Criminal Court 1 of Barcelona issued on Thursday, June 1, a search, capture and admission order to provisional prison after he did not appear at the trial he had planned on Wednesday. Albert Cavallé has justified his planting for medical reasons, before which the court has annulled the search and arrest warrant that he issued and has set the hearing for November 29.
Albert C., who has accumulated four convictions for defrauding women -with whom he began sentimental relationships, asked them for money and did not return it-, did not appear on May 31 before criminal court number 1 in Barcelona, where he had to being tried for not returning 850 euros to a woman, between the end of 2016 and the beginning of 2017, facts for which the Prosecutor's Office requests three years in prison for him.
The arrest warrant was rescinded the following day because his lawyer then presented a report justifying the "indisposition" that Cavallé alleged to explain his absence, sources from the Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia (TSJC) have explained on Tuesday.
This order was to guarantee Cavallé's attendance at the trial in a case for which the Prosecutor's Office is asking to sentence him to three years in prison for an alleged crime of continued fraud against a woman from whom he asked for 850 euros divided into two loans that he never repaid, according to the indictment to which Europa Press has had access.
