A North African migrant on an e-scooter snatched the bag of
former Formula One boss and billionaire entrepreneur Flavio
Briatore in central Milan at around eleven o'clock in the
morning on Thursday, the flamboyant businessman said on social
media Friday.
The thief snatched the backpack from Briatore's car, "but
luckily there was a finance guard at the scene who stopped him,"
said the 73-year-old former Renault boss.
"How is it possible that such a crime can occur in broad
daylight in the centre of the city?" he said.
"Milan is becoming the crime capital of northern Italy".
