The Milan flying squad detained
seven people on Friday for planning to break into a security van
on the Bari-Foggia highway in the southern part of the country.
The arrest was made due to information that came to light as
part of investigations underway into a robbery that occurred on
October 15, 2016 in Cascina del Sole, a suburb of Bollate near
Milan.
Some 1.5 million euros were stolen and the case has not yet
been solved. Milan investigators engaged in analysis and
wiretaps that did not make it possible to solve the Bollate case
but did lead to discovering a plot to rob another security van
on the A14 Bari-Foggia highway.
Three men at the head of the criminal plot were running
groups in different provinces: Giancarlo D'Abramo in Cerignola,
Francesco Mavellia in San Ferdinando di Puglia and Catello Lista
in Manfredonia.
