French conman in Israel sentenced in absentia
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA con man who swindled dozens of French banks and businesses into giving him millions of euros by pretending to be their boss or a secret service agent, is sentenced in absentia to seven years in jail on Wednesday.
Gilbert Chikli, 49, who fled to Israel in 2009 after being charged, was the mastermind of a scheme which saw him fleece some of France’s top companies, and is the subject of an international arrest warrant.
