Original title: 84 year old women dressed as blind people have received national disability subsidy of more than 200000 euros for 21 years
[21 years of old women pretending to be blind] according to EURONET, citing the European Union News Agency, an 84 year old woman living in catancharo, Calabria, Italy, disguised herself as blind for 21 years in order to obtain social subsidies for the disabled, which was found by the police. The procuratorial organ then filed a lawsuit to the court, which frozen the elderly's assets of 263000 euros.
It is reported that after investigation, the police found that the old woman has pretended to be blind since 1998, cheated the inspection of the hospital and received social subsidies for the disabled as a blind person for 21 years. According to the survey, the elderly have received more than 200000 euros of national disability allowance.
It is reported that in 2018, after the 84 year old woman was exposed as a blind man, the police found that the investigated blind old woman could read documents, watch TV and even sign at the designated position without the help of glasses.
The appraisal results of the hospital designated by the police show that the elderly receiving the disability subsidy have good eyesight, and there is no complete blindness in the application for the disability subsidy. Finally, the police found that the elderly were suspected of defrauding social subsidies for the disabled.
At present, the prosecution brought a lawsuit to the court on suspicion of defrauding subsidies for the disabled, and the court ordered to freeze some assets under the name of the elderly. The judge of the case is investigating further.
