A blank chip. At a casual glance, it looked like any other ID card. It was only when they picked it up at the checkpoints that the Carabinieri of the two Ogliastra companies noticed what was missing: the microchip, almost surgically removed. It happened four times: twice in Escalaplano, once in Jerzu, once in Lanusei. The four holders of the altered documents were reported at large to the Public Prosecutor's Offices of Cagliari and Lanusei, charged with material forgery by a private individual. Now, under the direction of the two Prosecutor's Offices, an attempt is being made to understand the reasons for the forgery. The Ogliastra cases are part of a nationwide trend where this type of forgery is causing growing concern.
