He bought a Jeep Cherokee, which looked practically new, with the odometer reading just over 61,000 kilometers.

But when he had the car checked by an expert mechanic, the "flaw" came out: the car, of kilometers, had covered 160 thousand.

The victim of the scam is a 55-year-old from Nuraminis , who - after the discovery - turned to the carabinieri.

The military started the investigation, which ended with a complaint for aggravated fraud against the owner of the dealership - based in Cantù, in the province of Como - who sold the car to the 55-year-old.
