Two residents of Nassau County (Bahamas, USA) are suspected of having defrauded the state for years, receiving various benefits to which they were not entitled. The accused are 55 — year-old Markus Effinger and his 58-year-old lover Gloria Sevilla, according to Patch.
"Millions of people rely on the social security and pension system every day to make ends meet," Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly chided the defendants. "These individuals took advantage of a system designed to protect the most vulnerable from financial stress and stole tens of thousands of dollars in benefits they were not entitled to."
Effinger received his first fake benefit in May 2012. Then he registered a disability associated with retinal detachment. Three years later, together with Seville, he created the company Dash Xpress, which showed a million-dollar turnover, but Effinger did not report this to the authorities in order to continue to count on benefits. In parallel, since 2015, Seville has been receiving social payments for the deceased woman, over whom she had previously issued guardianship.
The amount of illegal payments over a decade has reached about 200 thousand dollars. Both defendants have pleaded not guilty, and they are awaiting trial at large.
