Couple arrested for scamming immigrant families
A married couple has been arrested for allegedly scamming immigrant families in Sunset Park out of thousands of dollars.
Patrick Panettieri, 63 and his wife, Joanne Panettieri, 59, were arrested in Syracuse, New York on Friday, August 30 for reportedly defrauding about 100 Asian immigrant families out of thousands of dollars in which they paid in tuition at schools they ran teaching English as a second language.
The couple is charged with suddenly closing down the schools and fleeing with their victim’s money, said Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes, who announced the arrest on Wednesday, September 4.
