Rimini: wanted in France for murder, captured by the State Police.

The investigation, launched following the issuing of the European Arrest Warrant by the French authorities, was prompted by information received in the context of the collaboration between the State Police and the French Police according to which the alleged perpetrator of the murder could actually be found in Rimini, where he had slept for several nights near the station.
The Central Operations Service immediately, having acquired the information from the French authorities, informed the Rimini Flying Squad of the possible presence of the man, extremely dangerous in light of the brutal crime he had committed a few days earlier in France.

Furthermore, the precise tracking of his last movements, reconstructed by analyzing the images from the cameras and the statements of the people who had noticed the man wandering around the area, had allowed him to be presumably located in the Rimini seafront area.

Once his identity was confirmed, the man was made aware that he was under arrest in execution of a judicial order from France and, consequently, transferred to the local prison at the disposal of the proceeding Judicial Authority.
