Palermo: Fraud of fake accident to the detriment of an elderly woman, 26-year-old repeat offender arrested

The Carabinieri of the Resuttana Colli Station, they arrested a 26-year-old from Palermo, already known to the police, for aggravated fraud. During a territorial control service, near via Ferdinando Palasciano, the military noticed the suspect enter a condominium with a suspicious attitude, and then observed him quickly exit after a few minutes.

The Carabinieri therefore they decided to stop the man who, when searched, was found in possession of a velvet bag inside which jewels worth 20.000 euros were found. The immediate intervention of the military and the checks carried out by them allowed us to outline what had happened just a few moments before. In particular, an elderly woman, resident in the building from which the 26-year-old had been seen leaving, had been tricked through the now usual ruse of a serious road accident caused by her son.

To the woman, reached by telephone by a fake employee of the Court of Palermo, the need to pay a bail for the release of the son held in the barracks had been raised. A few instructions were received on the phone and the elderly woman, in a state of strong anxiety, had waited for the arrival of a person, in this case the 26 year old, who had shown up at his home to collect the large amount of loot.

The investigation activity of the Carabinieri has therefore shed light on what happened to the elderly woman, promptly blocking the suspect and returning the unfortunate woman's jewels. The arrest was validated by the Preliminary Investigations Judge of the Court of Palermo.
