The script was always the same: the advert published online presenting a series of “special” massages at low costs , the appointment in a studio (or in a B&B) and then the unpleasant surprise for the customers .

According to the Tempio Pausania prosecutor's office, two South Americans also operated in Olbia in 2024, claiming victims among the professionals and business owners of the Gallura city . According to police investigations, the massage was the bait for the attack, organized to surprise the client and rob him .

During the treatment, the victim was suddenly immobilized, beaten, and robbed (of money, watches, and other valuables) . The two South Americans were indicted by the preliminary hearing judge of Tempio, Federica Distefano. They are said to have operated in Olbia and various cities across Italy; there are reports of around ten cases. However, many victims have not reported the crimes to avoid being identified .
