Caught red-handed by the state police during an extortion operation. It happened two days ago in Sassari when a couple attempted to resell the bicycle they had stolen from them to its rightful owner.
The two, a woman from Sassari and a man from Romania, had arranged to meet the man demanding payment to return the vehicle. But once all three met, at the moment the money was exchanged, police officers intervened and arrested the two on charges of extortion and robbery.
The suspects, by order of the Public Prosecutor's Office, were taken to Bancali, where the sentencing hearing took place yesterday. Prosecutor Elisa Succu urged that the prison sentence be confirmed, while defense attorney Antonio Meloni requested a more lenient measure, such as house arrest.
The investigating judge Giuseppe Grotteria has reserved his decision.
