An elderly couple was scammed by a fake carabiniere who managed to steal the two jewels for at least 100 thousand euros. It happened on Tuesday afternoon in Milan to an elderly couple. Returning home, in the Città Studi area, the two, he of 83 years and she of 81, came across a man who stopped them by explaining that he was a plainclothes soldier and showing an equally fake red and white card. With his face partially covered by a surgical mask and the visor of a baseball cap, the elusive carabiniere in civilian clothes told the elderly that he was looking for a fugitive, who probably had slipped right into their building to hide.
At that point, simulating a call to the operations center, he managed to gain the trust of the couple and to have the door of the apartment opened first and then the safe, with the excuse of having to check if the thief had entered the house and had stolen. something. The 83-year-old showed the man the contents of the safe: gold jewelry for an estimated value of around 100,000 euros. The scammer took the jewels, explaining that he had to do an inventory in his command, and disappeared.
