European nabbed for practising witchcraft

Abu Dhabi police arrested a European man on charges of turning his apartment into witchcraft practice and swindling large sums of money from his victims.

Police said the man misled his victims into believing he is able to treat their psychological and family problems and that he lured them into his home-turned-clinic through social media networks.

“He deceived people and made them believe that he can treat all their problems… he used illegal witchcraft and sorcery ways as well as tricks and strange rituals,” a police spokesman said.

Newspapers said the unnamed man managed to cheat many people who believed he could cure them.

“He used to send messages to his targets through social media networks telling them that he is capable of solving all their problems… many of them believed him and he succeeded in swindling large sums of money from them,” Al Bayan newspaper said, quoting a police statement.
