The Swindler, the Sorcery, and the Shallow Grave: Decoding the Con Man's Fatal Treasure Hunt

from Crime Night · host Crime Night

A cunning fraudster named Faiez built his life around deception, sorcery, and fake treasure-hunting schemes to control and exploit others. When his marriage to the stepdaughter of a man named Am Sabir soured over divorce settlements, Faiez plotted revenge. He convinced a neighbor, Sayed Othman, that ancient treasure was hidden beneath his house and used the staged excavation as cover to murder Am Sabir and secretly bury his body. The case began to unravel after Faiez’s own mother falsely claimed her son had been kidnapped and tortured by Am Sabir’s sons. Police inquiries exposed Faiez’s history as a con artist and polygamist, while Sayed Othman eventually confessed to the illegal digging. His confession led investigators to the buried remains of Am Sabir, and Faiez was arrested, tried, and sentenced to death for his crimes.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/crimenight1Produced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
