They had dressed up as carabinieri to kidnap and rob a businessman from Cagliari but the intervention of the military had ruined the criminal plan. It happened last January 31 : two people were immediately arrested, while the alleged third accomplice, a 32-year-old farmer from Decimoputzu, was arrested today by the men of the Arma and is in prison in Uta. The operation was carried out by the military of the Operational Unit of the Carbonia Company, with the support of the Carbonia Carabinieri Station and the dog units of the Squadron Eliportato Cacciatori Sardegna.

Today's arrest represents a further development of the investigation that, in recent weeks, had already led to the capture of two people, alleged members of the criminal gang, in possession of Carabinieri uniforms, weapons, electrical cable ties and other tools attributable to the implementation of the plan. According to the evidence collected, the group had planned to break into a private home, pretending to be carabinieri, to carry out a robbery with kidnapping.

According to the reconstruction, the 32-year-old was one of the organizers of the attempted robbery. After the formal procedures, the man was taken to prison in Uta, at the disposal of the judicial authorities. The investigations continue to clarify any further responsibilities and verify whether there were other subjects involved in planning the robbery.
