He was the recipient of a European arrest warrant
He had eluded the authorities' searches for almost two years and a European arrest warrant issued by Germany was hanging over him following a 10-year sentence for a 200 euro scam: he was arrested in Italy by men of the State Police of Brescia a German citizen.
The investigation arose from a request for international police cooperation by the German authorities, for which the Operational Section for Cyber Security of the Postal Police of Brescia was involved. The technical investigations carried out by the specialists of the Postal Police Service led to the location of the house from which a connection had been made to access the email address used by the requested person, which turned out to be in the Brescia area.
Further technical investigations and targeted surveillance services by the investigators of the Cyber Security Operational Section of the Brescia Postal Police, who were immediately involved, confirmed the actual presence of the subject inside a luxurious villa, found to be owned by a German woman.
In agreement with the Public Prosecutor's Office of Brescia, last September 27 the Postal staff therefore searched the house and found the wanted man, who was hidden in an underground bunker of the villa, a small, poorly lit and protected room. from a multitude of cameras where he lived in precarious hygienic conditions among dirt and food scraps.
The owner of the villa is also in trouble, under investigation for the crime of personal aiding precisely in consideration of the evident relationships of complicity with the wanted man, who had - among other things - escaped from the house arrest he was serving in Italy. The subjects are however to be considered innocent until an irrevocable sentence is reached.
