Austrian Police Hunt Fugitive 'Shaman' Accused of Multi-Million Euro Fraud

The 44-year-old suspect allegedly defrauded victims across Austria, Germany, and Switzerland with false 'cleansing rituals' and has gone into hiding.

The suspect, a 44-year-old Austrian citizen of Serbian origin, is accused of defrauding victims of tens of millions of euros through fake occult rituals.
One victim reportedly paid over €730,000 after being convinced a family member was under a deadly curse requiring a costly 'cleansing ritual.'
Authorities discovered €4.1 million in cash, 2.1 million Swiss francs, gold bars, jewelry, and other valuables at the home of the suspect’s son, who has been arrested for alleged complicity.
Investigators believe the suspect operated across Austria, Germany, and Switzerland, and are urging additional victims to come forward.
The Austrian interior minister has described the case as one of the largest fraud investigations in the region, with international cooperation underway to locate the fugitive.
