Man, 93, left penniless after relatives conspire to steal home, car, savings, police say
HIALEAH, Fla. – At 93 years old, Manuel Toledo was at an assisted living facility on Friday in Hialeah without a penny to his name. Detectives said two relatives committed fraud to empty his bank accounts, sell his house and take his savings.
Ana Castellanos, his niece, said he had worked really hard for everything he had after arriving from Cuba and becoming a U.S. citizen. She said he was a homeowner, and a woman pretending to be a really close relative stole more than $500,000 from him, police said.
