Belgian criminals, posing as cops, have stolen at least 500.000 euros from German senior citizens. The Aken and Eupen Police Departments made this public yesterday.

The fake cops have been operating around the the town of Sankt-Vith, on the Belgian-German border.

Their scheme was the following: not far from the border they intercepted expensive cars with German license plates. Preferably the cars were being driven by seniors. To make the victims pull over they used fake police badges.

This way they regularly intercepted people who had just withdrawn money from banks in Luxemburg. The money would have been there to evade taxes. Then the so called cops would ‘collect’ the money as to investigate it.

The criminals, aged 25 24 and 38, have been in custody since the end of December last year.

As of now the police are investigating thirteen of these cases. They suspect more people have been victimized by the criminal’s scheme, but are too afraid to come forward, out of fear for the fiscal police.

Last week we posted this news item about nobody getting killed by sharks anymore nowadays:

Nobody get killed by sharks anymore ?

But today it was made public that an Austrian man was killed by shark. The attack took place off the coast of Florida in the United States.

This was reported by the Austrian Press Agency.

The 49 year old diver died some time later in the hospital, because of the wounds he had received during the shark attack.

The attack took place on Sunday. The man was taking part in a tourist diving expedition. Part of the expedition was seeing bull sharks in their natural habitat.

The rabbit of Latvian president Valdis Zatlers is dead. Lisis, as the bunny was called, was a  famous celebrity in Latvia. Lisis came to fame after president Zatler had told the press that he viewed his rabbit a full member of the presidential family.

It is speculated that Lisis was suffering from depressions after the family moved to the presidential palace last year. He longed back to his old home.

Although the Zatlers allowed Lisis to roam free around the palace, the little animal saw his new home as a golden cage.

The First Rabbit was never really able to cope with his celebrity status.

In the Italian town of Marano, close to Napels, a very interesting lottery is being  organized. First prize is a burial spot on the local cemetery.

The town’s cemetery is completely full at the moment. That is why an emergency cemetery is being built in Marano. Though that new graveyard will only have enough spaces for 48 people.

The city administration is concerned that people might be starting to bribe city officials, as to obtain an exclusive resting place.

This made them decide to start the  rather odd lottery, of which the winner at least gets buried properly.

Though this is still a temporary solution. Work has begun on a much larger cemetery. The new graveyard will have space for over 1.000 burial spots.

An Italian woman is finally allowed to divorce her husband. But it took her ten long years of legal battles to achieve this. It all went horribly wrong during the wedding night. The woman was shocked when her new husband decided to smoke a joint in bed. This made her very upset.

Now, after ten years, the court in Salerno has finally annulled their marriage. The woman explained to the judge how shocked she was about her husband’s cannabis use. Before they got married he had told her that he had never touched any  kind of drugs before. This ofcourse turned out to be a lie.

This is why, after this ten year long legal battle, the judge ruled in the woman’s favor.

“The wife was raised in a very conservative family and all she ever wanted was her husband to be honest to her,” said judge Angelo Rossi to motivate his ruling.
