She is 83 years old and lives in a country house, a few kilometers from Olbia. He had never had to deal with courts and lawyers, but now he has to defend himself from an accusation that he took very badly.

The elderly lady from Olbia is now on trial in Tempio for theft of electricity, committed from November 2017 to October 2021.

According to the Gallura prosecutor's office, the pensioner tampered with the Enel meter by creating a connection, a bypass, which prevents the device from measuring electricity consumption. There is talk of over 8 thousand kilowatts "stolen" in four years. The lady, defended by the lawyer Marzio Altana, claims that she doesn't even know how an Enel meter is made . The defender is also considering a possible test, but the pensioner insists and denies having tampered with the electricity meter.
