A self-styled "fortune teller" from Quartu Sant'Elena was arrested by the police . She is under investigation for an alleged extortion against a 53-year-old fellow citizen.

In recent days, the woman who believes she was the victim of a scam went to the police station to file a complaint: finding herself in a situation of personal discomfort, she had turned to the 55-year-old to receive "services" as a fortune teller. The latter had asked her for various sums: from 30 euros for reading the cards to 300 euros for other types of rituals. In the various years he would have received 13,500 euros.

Since she had not received any benefits, the 53-year-old had interrupted all forms of contact with the self-styled fortune teller but this, decidedly annoyed, had started calling her insistently, even 35 times a day , without receiving an answer, and sending messages via WhatsApp with menacing tones. Even going so far as to show up at the alleged victim's house , physically assaulting her and demanding 16,000 euros in settlement of the services received.

The 53-year-old had finally decided to meet her in a public establishment to give her an initial agreed sum: 250 euros. However, the investigators of the police station had organized an ambush and, after the exchange of money, the "fortune teller" was arrested.
