Pagnacco (Udine), spending and introduction into the State of counterfeit banknotes. Two individuals arrested by the State Police
The State Police of Udine, through personnel from the Flying Squad of the Police Headquarters, proceeded to arrest two Italian citizens from Naples for spending and introducing counterfeit banknotes into the state.
On October 31st last two men aged 52 and 45 (GB and RC), arrived in this province from Naples with a rental car, They were noticed by the Flying Squad staff and caught while they were buying a brioche in a pastry shop in Pagnacco using a 50 euro note that turned out to be counterfeit for payment.
From the subsequent meticulous investigation activity, following the careful monitoring of the movements made by the two subjects, it was possible to ascertain that during the same morning, using the same modus operandi, the same individuals had spent at least another 5 counterfeit 50 euro notes at various commercial establishments in the hinterland north of Udine.
The criminal action was very profitable since the mechanism devised by the criminals allowed the exchange of counterfeit money with real money with a very small purchase and therefore almost at par, creating a great economic advantage by spending very little.
The two people were then arrested for the crime of spending and introducing counterfeit money into the country without agreement and taken to the Udine prison.
The arrest was subsequently validated by the Preliminary Investigations Judge, who ordered both men to be held in prison.
Since it cannot be ruled out that similar incidents have occurred in other commercial establishments in the province of Udine, further investigations are underway by the Police Headquarters staff., therefore, traders are invited to carry out targeted checks to verify the possible possession of counterfeit banknotes received in the recent period and, in the event of a positive outcome, contact the Flying Squad Offices for the necessary checks.
