a French scammer arrested after extracting money from a humanitarian association

On Sunday March 20, in a Parisian fast-food restaurant, police arrested a man. This is Tony Peillon, a crook with a rich criminal record. Indeed, he comes back from the Ukrainian-Polish border. For several weeks, he pretended to be a soldier in charge of importing weapons on behalf of a French private security company. After several reports, his leader gave him an appointment in Paris to trap him, and denounce him to the police.

The scammer, who promised to set up a secure camp for the refugees, extracted several thousand euros from a Belgian humanitarian association. Aged 25, Tony Peillon has already been convicted several times for fraud and theft. On social networks, he changed his name and profession several times. The man metamorphoses and seduces to better rip off his victims. Judged on Wednesday March 23, he was sentenced to eight months in prison for arms trafficking.
