CASTELNUOVO A full-blown assault on the villa of champion Luca Toni on Thursday night in Montale. The footballer was attacked by three criminals while he was at home with the children.
The bandits, weapons in hand and masked in their faces, ordered him to hand over all valuables, fully informed of the family’s habits. They raged against him, avoiding involving the two children. There were moments of terror and the attackers knew how to move, not at all afraid of being in front of the champion. They demonstrated clarity and military-type training.
The attackers moved when it was dark, and in all probability there were four of them. The accomplice of the three bandits was in the car with the engine running, ready to charge the others in case of alarm. The role of the sentinel driver in home attacks of this type is always critical. Also in the case of Luca Toni, the bandits left after loading the loot and telling the victims not to notify anyone. An unnecessary precaution given that they had acted within minutes, meeting virtually no resistance from anyone in the family. The car vanished into darkness. Some say they were in a dark car, perhaps a black Audi, which sped off. However, it is unlikely that anyone noticed the badge, even if the carabinieri conducting the investigations will have to go from there.
But it is on the methods and findings that researchers will now have to focus on. The bandits have acted with clarity and determination, choosing the moment and the form of attack at the most propitious moment for them. The first question: were there other accomplices besides those who beat the player? Invisible but ready to intervene in the event of persecution? This is also one of the details that men in uniform who do not neglect any detail should clarify. Throughout yesterday, forensic medicine experts came and went in search of fingerprints, hair, biological traces, ready to capture each piece of DNA.
At the same time, the cameras of neighboring houses are screened. In hindsight, signs warning strangers about “Neighborhood Checks” sound like mockery; In this case, what could professionals like the attackers of the Toni family do?
As for the car, the most visible trace, was it stolen or was only the license plate stolen? Another question to start with: and given the seriousness of the situation, Arma has sent its best investigators, organizing a working group necessary to reconstruct what happened but above all to understand if a gang has taken action in the area of Modena specialized, on par with the one that has been blowing up ATMs everywhere for weeks.
Montale Village, attacked this time just before dinner, is not new to bandit intrusions. In 2008, when no one was home, someone managed to go in to find gold jewelry and valuables. On the occasion, the Golden Boot was the best bomber of the 2005-06 season and the gold medal was won with the victory of the 2006 World Cup, while the thieves took a national team jersey. Instead, Toni experienced dramatic moments in February 2017 when the attacker, at the time Hellas Verona manager, was attacked in Avellino while on his way to the stadium with Scaligeri president Carpi Maurizio Setti – his car was badly damaged. –
