Lecce, the Moët & Chandon gang dismantled: two men and a woman arrested. Wanted 25 years old

by admin

In Lecce he dismantles the “Moët & Chandon gang” from a joint action of police and carabinieri. Three arrests and a wanted person after weeks of old school investigations. A romantic operation: fine spirits, as during Prohibition, and investigators at work on photographs, testimonies and reconstructions.

The detainees, for whom the public prosecutor of Lecce has ordered house arrest, are citizens of Romanian nationality, three men and one woman. Marius Laurentiu Mititica, Andreea Florentina Dragan, both 32 years old, the very young RCS and a 25 year old currently untraceable and sought after.

The gang dealt only with a select product: bottles of considerable commercial value such as champagne, rum, cognac and branded whiskey. On balance, they stole thousands of euros worth of goods, hitting an unspecified number of supermarkets and department stores. Certainly the gang operated in the only window in which the retail trade was regular, therefore in the period June-September last year and certainly in the municipalities of Poggiardo, Uggiano La Chiesa, Martano, Minervino Di Lecce, San Cassiano and Otranto.

The investigations of the carabinieri of Lecce, coordinated by the captain Valentino Adinolfi and of the Nardò police officers, led by the deputy commissioner Sabrina Manzone, they started from the reports of the shopkeepers. Then the images of the video surveillance systems did the rest.

The modus operandi was always the same. A person entered the supermarket and removed the anti-theft plate from the bottle, then the bottle ended up in a backpack hidden between the shelves and in a point not framed by the cameras. A second accomplice came in shortly after and retrieved the backpack while shopping. So for hundreds of times.

The suspicion is that the bottles were immediately resold, with a discount, as part of the summer nightlife. The period of activity, moreover, coincides precisely with that of the temporary reopening of the premises.
