The swindler with many names and the mystery of her strange action

The infamous Australian swindler Samantha Azzopardi was sentenced to prison in Melbourne because he kidnapped two children.

Azzopardi has managed to create a series of fake identities in various countries around the world, deceiving people and prosecuting authorities.

Who is the swindler with the many names

What do Emily Peet, Lindsay Coughlin, Dakota Johnson, Georgia McAuliffe, Harper Hernandez and Harper Hart have in common? They are all names belonging to a single woman, 32-year-old Azzopardi from Sydney, Australia.

For the past 10 years, it has left its mark on Ireland, Canada and various Australian states.

He was sentenced on Friday to 2 years in prison for another fraud: he forged documents and recommendations to become a professional nanny in order to kidnap two small children without permission.

Melbourne judge Johanna Metcalf even said the motives behind the “strange crime” remained unclear.

Azzopardi has adopted many identities in her life. At one point he pretended to be a victim of trafficking. Sometimes she said she was blue-blooded from Sweden and other times a gymnast from Russia who had lost her whole family in a horrible crime of murder and suicide.

Throughout her 20s, she pretended to be a minor and managed to fool people. She has almost always been involved with the law: she has been deported from countries and has served short prison sentences.

It was heard in court that he has been diagnosed with a serious form of personality disorder, but also imaginary pseudology, a situation that has to do with deception and the pathological mendacity.

Azzopardi was convicted of a 2019 case when she got a job as a nanny in a family of French descent and took the children for a walk. Only instead of going to the park, she took a trip of 200 kilometers, until she was spotted by police.

Her actions are also known in Ireland, when she was found living in Dublin in 2013 and declared herself a victim of trafficking. He did something similar in Calgary, Canada. He was 26 years old and pretended to be a 14-year-old victim of abuse and exploitation.

Hundreds of stories are circulating about her action, which seems to have no end…
