A travel agency manager has been arrested for fraud after using clients' money to pay for a virtual 'boyfriend', causing losses of over 100,000 euros.

A travel agency manager, at the end of her career, was arrested for fraud that affected clients by over 100,000 euros. It all started with an online relationship with a 'soldier' from Lebanon, who claimed he needed help to leave the country.

Within a year, the manager sent approximately 280,000 euros to him, thus becoming a victim of a network of scammers. When her own funds were exhausted, she began using clients' money to meet the demands of her fictitious 'boyfriend', refunding deposits for vacations and failing to honor contracted services. Clients, who tried to contact the agency, discovered that the offices were closed, and the manager announced that she was retiring. The police investigation led to the arrest of 11 people involved in this network of romantic scams, and the victims are still waiting for the recovery of their lost money.
