On the evening of October 17, local time, Cléophée Herrmann, the granddaughter of former textile tycoon Fritz · Schlumpf, ·France Cléophée Herrmann (Cléophée Herrmann) and her "stepmother" Josine · Seiler (Josianne Seiler) The six-year economic dispute ushered in the final verdict, and Thaler was sentenced to 30 months in prison by the Colmar Criminal Court for "plunder". He was also required to pay Herman 5.1 million euros (about 39.3 million yuan) and 50,000 euros (about 390,000 yuan) in compensation.
In addition, Thaler's two daughters, Mathilde Hickel, 33, and Julia ·Hickel·, 40, were sentenced to a one-year suspended sentence for handling stolen goods and abuse of power, and were ordered to pay Herman 320,000 euros (about 2.46 million yuan).
According to the Daily Mail, Herman's billionaire grandfather, Schlenpf, who made his fortune from worsted wool, not only owned a luxury winery during his lifetime, but also had a collection of 580 luxury cars in his home, including 123 Bugatti and 14 Rolls-Royce.
But later, Schrempf was forced into exile for Switzerland for fraud and embezzlement, and died in Switzerland in 1989. In 2008, Hermann's grandmother handed over all of the 11 million euros left by Schlenpf to Hermann before she died.
Unfortunately, when Herman was 10 years old, her mother also died, after which her father, Patrick, began a relationship with Saylor, but the two never married.
After the death of her grandmother and mother, Herman felt very "vulnerable" and "empty", so she relied on Thaler very much, and even treated her like a stepmother.
But Thaler took advantage of the situation and introduced Herman, who missed his family, to a couple who were well-versed in "dark magic", and they claimed to be able to help Herman connect with her deceased mother "on the other side", and all the expenses were passed on to the couple by Thaler.
It is reported that Thaler asked Herman to put cash in her mailbox each time, and the amount increased from 1,000 euros to 10,000 euros and finally 50,000 euros.
However, the "black magic" couple told the police that they had only received a few hundred euros in total. Not only that, but Thaler continued to swindle Herman's fortune in other ways to support his lavish lifestyle, including the purchase of Louis Vuitton, Hermès handbags, and a variety of top-quality champagnes and wines.
Herman became "destitute" and ended up working at a barbecue restaurant. As for why she chose to trust her "stepmother" Saylor, the 34-year-old Herman explained in an interview with Le Monde that she "used to have everything", so she grew up with little sense of money.
The heiress also has a two-year-old son, who added, "But for the sake of my children, for the sake of my family, I will keep going."
