Pasta king Saturnino De Cecco was
burgled Monday night in his villa in Abruzzo after he was forced
to open his safe after his wife and five-year-old daughter were
shut in the kitchen and threatened, sources said Tuesday.
Four armed men broke into the villa at Montesilvano Marina and
forced the 42-year-old De Cecco, major shareholder in the
family's pasta empire, to hand over jewels, luxury watches and
other valuables.
Police said the burglars, who were masked and armed, were
"foreigners".
The bandits made off with their swag.
Police said Tuesday they were on their trail and had god leads.
