SGOMINATA LA BANDA DEI GIOSTRAI, SQUARCIAVANO I BANCOMAT DEL NORDEST | 05/03/2022

A3 NEWS Venice 05/03/2022 - TREVISO - Major operation by the Carabinieri of the Treviso investigative unit: eight precautionary custody orders in prison, 3 orders to remain in residence. The heists had netted tens of thousands of euros: nine arrested in the Marca, two in the province of Venice. A dangerous gang of carnies was dismantled. Their operations center is in Mareno di Piave. || The technique used is the marmot technique, rudimentary but very powerful devices inserted into ATM slots so as to quickly tear them open, remove their contents and then flee. And this aboard a large-engined sedan, a Wolswagen Phaeton, which has almost become a trademark. A script that between the end of 2020 and throughout 2021 was repeated several times throughout the Northeast, from Pordenone to Trento, particularly in the areas of Venice and Treviso. The list of attacks is long, from Valdobbiadene to Eraclea, Bibione, Quarto d'Altino, until the crazy night of May 12, 2021, when raids and explosions followed one another from Semonzo di Borso del Grappa, Valdobbiadene, Pieve di Soligo, and Moriago della Battaglia. Since then, the investigation by the Carabinieri of the Treviso Provincial Command, coordinated by the Prosecutor's Office, has been intense, culminating in recent days. Eleven people—all Italian citizens—are considered seriously suspected of being part of a criminal conspiracy aimed at committing aggravated theft. Nine of them live in the Treviso area, three in the province of Venice. The operations center—both for preparing the bombs and dividing up the loot—was a house with a garage in Mareno di Piave. A veritable commando unit was deployed. The identikit is precise, as is their criminal history. The carny gang will also face charges of money laundering and resisting a public official. Their car was, in fact, a criminal supercar, equipped with jammers and fire extinguishers, to be activated in the event of a pursuit, as happened one night in the Conegliano area. Extremely dangerous maneuvers that endangered the very officers who intercepted and followed them. Provincial commander Gianfilippo Magro speaks of a significant investigative effort. "Our territory deserves all possible attention in the fight against crime, we won't stop here," he said. - Interviewees: LIECHTENSANTA COL.
