(ANSA) – SEREGNO (MONZA), 22 FEB – A 35-year-old man from Seregno (Monza) was denounced by the carabinieri for simulating a crime, together with two friends, for pretending to have been kidnapped by two characters ” dangerous “, to which the parents would have had to pay a ransom of 1500 euros to pay off a drug debt. “I wanted to do as Lapo in New York” he then told the carabinieri, once he found out.
“Mom, Dad, help me, two Calabrians have taken me hostage, they want the money”. With these words, the 35-year-old terrorized his 60-year-old parents, who immediately turned to the carabinieri thinking that their son, a drug addict, had an unsettled debt with dangerous criminals. “If you want to see your whole child again, you have to pay,” one of the 35-year-old’s accomplices told his parents during one of the phony ransom calls.
With the help of the military, the 60-year-old couple arranged the exchange of money and, last night, the operation took place. Following mum and dad in civilian clothes, the military, however, met the 35-year-old on the street, while he was walking peacefully alone, and stopped him, asking where his torturers were, a question that he was unable to answer.
Shortly after they stopped a car, carrying a 38-year-old of Neapolitan origins and a 49-year-old from Brianza, with a police background, where they recovered the cell phone of the alleged kidnapped.
Discovered the scam, all three were reported. (HANDLE).
