On Monday, June 22, 2026, police arrested 32-year-old K.R.V. on suspicion of fraud. The man is alleged to have used forged documents to persuade several people to lend him money.
The case got underway after a report was filed at the De Nieuwe Grond police station on May 30. The complainant stated that K.R.V., his daughter’s ex-boyfriend, had approached him with documents purporting to show that he was to receive 200,000 euros from the Netherlands. The suspect is also alleged to have forged a document from the Public Prosecutor’s Office.
According to the preliminary investigation, K.R.V. used these documents to gain the complainant’s trust. The man then lent him SRD 85,000, on the promise that the amount would be repaid in full within a week as soon as the money became available from the Netherlands.
When the money was not repaid, the complainant’s daughter discovered that her parents may have been tricked into handing over the money. According to the police, she also found out that the documents shown to them were forged and that K.R.V. was not entitled to the alleged amount from the Netherlands. As a result, she ended her relationship with him.
On Monday, June 22, another victim came forward to the police. This woman also filed a report of fraud against K.R.V. and stated that he had defrauded her of SRD 500,000.
The suspect was arrested and, following consultation with the Public Prosecutor’s Office, was taken into custody. The police believe that more people may have been victimized by the same modus operandi.
