Corigliano Rossano: steals a motorbike and attempts continued extortion. 40-year-old arrested by the Carabinieri.

During today i Carabinieri of the Mandatoriccio station, framed in the Territorial Department of Corigliano Rossano, with the investigative coordination of the Public Prosecutor's Office of Castrovillari, directed by the Chief Prosecutor Alessandro D'Alessio, they carried out a precautionary measure under house arrest with the application of the "electronic bracelet" to a 40-year-old of Mandatoriccio, seriously suspected of the crimes of "aggravated theft", "extortion" and "continued attempted extortion".

Before continuing with the reconstruction of the facts, it seems appropriate to point out that the news is disseminated to guarantee the prerogatives of information and in respect of the rights of the suspect - who still has to be considered subject to the presumption of innocence given the current phase of the proceedings, the whose criminal responsibilities can only be ascertained through a sentence that has become irrevocable.

The events in question began on a night in the final part of June, when a small displacement motorbike was stolen from a boy from Mandatoriccio. From which moment a real Calvary began for him and his father, made up of extortionate requests and serious threats to their safety.

After the theft, the two victims were induced to pay money in order to recover the vehicle, which in any case had a much higher value than the sums claimed. Once this delinquent activity has been carried out, usually indicated with the conventional term "return horse", the two victims managed to recover the vehicle, noting that it had obvious damage, both to the bodywork and to the mechanical parts.

Unfortunately, however, the subject is seriously suspected of being responsible for the facts in question continued to reiterate its extortion requests, reaching the point of demanding increasingly exorbitant and unsustainable sums for the injured parties. Continuous economic requests which, while others increased as the days passed, were represented in a crescendo of threats and other intimidations.

The investigations carried out by the Carabinieri of the Mandatoriccio station, in the space of a few weeks, made it possible to collect the evidential elements supporting the ongoing illicit activity and to represent every facet of the ongoing illicit conduct to the magistrates of the Castrovillari public prosecutor's office. .

In turn, the Prosecutor's Offices asked the investigating judge of the Court of Castrovillari for an appropriate precautionary measure capable of repress illicit activities and protect victims. The Judge for Preliminary Investigations, deeming the accusations hypothesized by the prosecutor in charge of the investigation to be well founded, issued the precautionary measure of house arrest against the suspect.

The electronic device for remote controls will then be applied to the arrested person.
