Model who âconned own mum out of millionsâ dies in mystery plunge.
A model under investigation for allegedly orchestrating a multimillion-pound scam against her own mum has died after a mysterious building plunge.
Victim Sabine Boghici plummeted from the fifth floor.
She was found at the foot of the building but died from her injuries.
It happened in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on 14 September.
In attendance at her funeral three days later was her mother, 83-year-old Geneviève Boghici.
Sabineâs wife, Rosa Stanesco Nicolau, was unable to get authorization to attend the burial.
Nicolau is currently being held in prison on remand for her alleged role in the scam against her mother-in-law.
Police investigating Sabineâs death are reportedly considering several hypotheses, including suicide.
She is reported to have left a letter for her wife before her death.
Sabine, 49, was the daughter of the late art collector Jean Boghici.
Born in Romania in 1928, he arrived in Brazil clandestinely on a French ship in 1948 after spending years on the run with Jewish friends.
He owned one of Brazilâs most important art collections of the 20th century.
He died in 2015 aged 87.
Sabine was arrested in August last year.
She was imprisoned with her wife before being released on bail in March.
The two were due to attend a court hearing on Thursday (21 Sept).
Police accused Sabine of stealing 16 paintings from her late dadâs collection after it passed to her mum.
Among the paintings were works by renowned artists Tarsila do Amaral and Emiliano Di Cavalcanti.
At least two ended up in Argentina, say local media.
Police say Sabine deceived, extorted, threatened, and even physically assaulted her own mother.
She is accused of conning Geneviève out of an estimated BRL 725 million (GBP 120 million).
Police say Sabine hatched the plan against her mum in early 2020.
She allegedly paid for a woman to pose as a psychic and approach Geneviève on the street to warn her of her daughterâs imminent death.
The woman then allegedly took her to two other women respectively posing as a fortune teller and a âmãe de santoâ – a priestess in Afro-Brazilian religions.
These two women âconfirmedâ the first womanâs prediction and suggested Geneviève pay for âspiritual workâ to save her daughter.
A shaken Geneviève later told her daughter everything.
Sabine then pretended to be terrified and begged her mum to pay for the âspiritual work.â
Geneviève then began making fortnightly transfers to the women.
In early February, Geneviève began to realise she was being conned and stopped making the transfers.
Sabine, say police, then began to physically assault and threaten her mother.
The breakdown of Genevièveâs losses was given as:
Theft of 16 paintings: BRL 709 million (GBP 118 million)
Theft of jewellery: BRL 6 million (GBP 998,000)
Payment for âspiritual workâ: BRL 5 million (GBP 831,000)
Transfers under threat: BRL 4 million (GBP 665,000)
Police chief Gilberto Ribeiro said at the time: âThe daughter and Rosa began taking the artworks from the house, claiming that the paintings had the evil eye, something negative that needed to be prayed for.
âThey kept taking them, and the elderly woman saw it but couldnât refuse; she was completely subdued at that moment. They kept taking them and took 16 paintings.â
Sabineâs and Rosaâs lawyer, Hugo Novais, said: âThe statute of limitations is triggered by death, and only the other individuals involved in the case continue to face the legal process.â
At the time of writing, Sabine had more than 5,000 followers on Instagram, where she described herself as a voice actress, model, and singer.
