Bulldozer gang: international blitz, the last fugitive taken by the police

by admin

He had taken refuge with friends in the village of Vulturu, in Romania. Tracked down by the flying squad: he was the driver of the gang

The Pordenone mobile squad has tracked down and captured in Vulturu, a town of 8,600 souls in the Vrancea district, towards the Romanian coast of the Black Sea, the fourth member of the bulldozer gang, specializing in night assaults on gas stations in Northern Italy. Marius Sociu, known as Marius, Gimi or Sociu by his associates, 21, was arrested late on Thursday evening. His hiding lasted only fifteen days.

When his compatriot Iulian Gicu Dobre, 24, was arrested by the police on 12 May last in Galati, on a European mandate issued by the investigating judge Giorgio Cozzarini, Sociu had managed to escape, first hiding in the bush and then taking refuge at the home of some friends . Thanks to the information provided by the Pordenone investigators, coordinated by the chief commissioner Andrea Rosato, manager of the mobile squad, the Romanian police managed to find Sociu in one of the villages of Vulturu.

The transnational police operation, in which the Central Operational Service (Sco) and the International Police Cooperation Service (Scip) participated, led to the execution of four pre-trial detention measures in prison, requested by the prosecutor Federico Baldo . One of the suspects drowned during a chase.

The criminal group, between January and April, scored numerous hits in Friuli Venezia Giulia, Veneto, Emilia Romagna and Lombardy, in the evening and at night, uprooting the columns for self-service dispensing with stolen excavators to seize cash. The loot collected by the gang amounts to tens of thousands of euros, but the damage suffered by the petrol pumps is much greater: the owners have been forced to block the activities for some time, until the complete restoration of the supply systems. The gang moved across the border. Investigators attributed to Sociu, in particular, the role of the driver: the young man accompanied the other members of the gang from Galati to the Italian-Slovenian border by car, who then reached the province of Gorizia on foot. After the blows, the driver returned to the Slovenian border and waited for his accomplices to take them back to the logistics base in the motherland.

How did they contact each other? They turned on their phones for a few seconds. By carefully studying printouts and telephone cells, the police investigators were able to trace their users and then followed them in their movements.

The detectives of the mobile squad discovered that the gang acted mainly on weekends, stealing pickups and bulldozers from construction sites or rental depots of operating machines, vehicles used for escape and to perpetrate attacks on petrol stations.

Investigative investigations and findings are underway to bring back to the gang numerous similar episodes, which occurred in Northern and Central Italy between 18 and 24 February in Q8 distributors in Capri, Paese, Este, Breganze, Tamoil di Monselice, IP di Castegnato and Robecco d ‘Oglio.
