Who was Sabine Boghici?

What crimes did Sabine Boghici commit?
In August 2022, Sabine and her wife were arrested for allegedly scamming Sabine's mum Genevieve out of £120 million in cash, artwork and jewellery.
Investigators said that the late actress plotted against her mum in 2020, and allegedly paid for a woman to pose as a psychic - with the woman approaching Geneviève on the street to warn her of her daughter’s imminent death.
According to investigators, she then took her to two other women posing as a fortune teller and a priestess who suggested to pay for ''spiritual work'' to save her daughter.
After fearing for her daughter's life, the mum began making fortnightly transfers, before realising she was being conned in February.
Geneviève then stopped making payments.
Police accused Sabine of stealing 16 paintings worth £118million from her late father's collection.
