A mother and daughter have been arrested in Spain after they complained to police of a fraud by the daughter's boyfriend who had promised to kill a man for them, harvest the organs and share €60,000 ($101,840) from the sale.
The women made a down-payment for the supposed "hit" in March after claiming that the mother's ex-partner had swindled the family out of €60,000.
The boyfriend said he was an agent with Spain's National Intelligence Centre and would recoup the money by having the man captured, killed and stripped of his organs.
The women signed a contract with the fake spy, agreeing to the plan and paying him €7000 for operational expenses.
But months passed and the assassination failed to take place, so the two women went to a police station in central Madrid to report being victims of a fraud, and showed the police the contract they had signed on March 11.
