Bolonia, a defeated gang specialized in robbing ATMs – Chronicle

Bologna, August 31, 2020 – Defeated by Horde One forces gang of Bolognese specialized in robbing ATMs. A few days ago, at dawn, the state police and the Carabinieri de la Norma carried out 7 fermi, issued by the Bologna prosecutor, against so many belonging to a criminal band.

The research activity arises from a fruitful osmosis research activity that took place with the counterpart office of the Pistoia Police Headquarters, province in which the group, already in January, was responsible for the Stole of a ‘Alfa Romeo Juliet and two plates belonging to another car of the same type. Inside the Giulietta stolen and later abandoned in the escape of the criminals, robbery tools were also found, corresponding to those used by the Bolognese crime for attacks on ATMs, therefore, well known also by the Bologna mobile team.

The restrictive measures are the result of two different investigations, one carried out by the police investigation office, directly against those responsible for the attacks on ATMs, the other carried out by the carabinieri, which, coming from another investigative context, provided important elements in support of the investigation hypothesis against the belonging to the gang. In particular, it turned out that in Bologna a real one was active and operating criminal “battery”, to which the crimes committed both in the region and in other parts of the national territory could be linked.

Thanks to the elements collected in the investigation, it was discovered that the band he had committed multiple assault attempts through explosive material to the detriment of ATM counters: Among the more recent episodes, the assault on Emil Banca de Monzuno (Bo) July 3,Ubi Bank Of Lunano (Pu) of August 7 and the one consumed against Bank of Imola, a Sassatelli Sweep (Bo) August 22.

Basically, the “battery” had adopted a new strategy, as well as the one to delete one car use for every “hit”, and then abound the vehicle. A tactic that prevented the gang from using a garage and therefore also the risk of being identified. Another detail is that the cars used always turn out to be Alfa Romeo Giulietta, with which the criminal group has consolidated a highly professional withdrawal technique, acting on the car’s ignition control unit.

All the elements allowed the prosecutor, who coordinated the two prosecutors, to dictate the restrictive measure against the 47-year-old. CG, turned out to be the head and the central axis of operations. And again, the 71 year old ADB, Also present in almost all the controversial events, which played the role of relief, support and rescue, both during the theft of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta to be used and during the consummation of the coup. To end up handcuffed, even the 49 year old MF, who was also in charge of transporting the material used to manipulate and detonate the ATM and played an active role during the completion of the assaults. Still, GS, 30 years, GB, 46, who had entered only once, replacing one of the regular members. Finally, handcuffs also for LG, stable participant of all disputed episodes. The man had been a fugitive since March of this year, because he had evaded the execution of another restrictive measure issued against him for a series of robberies at banking institutions.
