UDINE. He had to atone for 13 and a half years of imprisonment for the crimes of fraudulent bankruptcy and fraud but had fled to Albania. Escape ended for a 70-year-old man, originally from Cosenza but who lived in Friuli Venezia Giulia. The Criminal Executions Office of the Public Prosecutor’s Office of the Court of Trieste issued an arrest warrant against him.

Among the offenses committed, there is also a fraud committed in collaboration with others, with tricks and deceptions consisting in pretending to be representatives of a group specialized in the detection and remediation of companies in difficulty by conducting an apparently serious commercial negotiation with the proposal to take over a company in the province of Pordenone in momentary financial crisis in the face of the sale of company shares and business activities, misleading the shareholders of the company and creating serious financial damage.

The activity aimed at tracing the 70-year-old was conducted by the Mobile Squads of Udine and Trieste supported by the Central Operational Service of the State Police and the International Police Cooperation Service. The investigations, directed by the Trieste Public Prosecutor’s Office, made it possible to locate the telephone utilities considered to be in use by the man and his family. Also important was the analysis of social networks from which profile images emerged attributable to various travel agencies located mostly in Tirana.

Further investigations in the tax field allowed, in the first months of 2020, to accelerate the investigations: it was found that the man was in receipt of a social pension. The ATMs in the province of Udine were identified from which the amount was withdrawn regularly every month and, thanks to the observation service, a subject was identified who physically withdrew from various Postamat branches the cash that was collected through money transfer circuits. transferred to Albania, in particular to Tirana.

The man who helped him with the transfer of cash, a 65-year-old resident in the province of Udine, was entered in the register of suspects by the Republic of Udine for aiding and abetting.

On the evening of Thursday 23 September, the 70-year-old was extradited to Italy and taken to the Civitavecchia prison.
