A woman was arrested in Nafpaktos for falsifying documents related to vehicle transfers, involving over 100 cases.

A woman in Nafpaktos, Greece, was apprehended for allegedly falsifying documents connected to the transfer of vehicles, with police suspecting involvement in over 100 cases. The suspect frequently visited the Transportation and Communication Department to process vehicle transfer requests, presenting falsified declarations and authorizations to facilitate these transactions.

The investigation was triggered by a complaint, leading local police to monitor and ultimately arrest the suspect as she was attempting to carry out another transaction at the department. A subsequent search of her vehicle uncovered a significant haul of incriminating evidence, including genuine vehicle registration licenses, state license plates, and numerous counterfeit authorization documents featuring seals from various municipal offices.

This case highlights ongoing issues with document forgery and fraud within the vehicle transfer system in Greece, raising concerns about the integrity of government processes and the potential for broader implications in vehicle registration and ownership verification. The arrest aims to deter similar fraudulent activities and reinforce the importance of thorough checks by authorities in handling vehicle transfers.
