Massa Carrara, Tuscany – The man, a 54-year-old German, escaped during an award leave from the prison of Massa, where he was being held on a series of final convictions for property crime. After escaping, the man managed to take possession of one Harley-Davidson Electra Glide, belonging to an unsuspecting private person, posing as a hypothetical buyer.
On his “new” Harley he then drove up to Desenzano del Gardain the province of Brescia, where he was traced, and later arrested, by the carabinieri of the command of Massa Carrara. According to the military, the man’s intention was to expatriate to reach Bavaria, his homeland.

The Arma explains how the facts went
Based on what was explained by the Arma, the 54-year-old, during the award permit, he would have made contact with a man from Carrara who had put his Electra Glide up for sale for a value of over 23 thousand euros. He would then have taken a taxi to reach the home of the owner of the motorcycle who, evidently unaware of what would have happened, would have allowed the canonical test before the purchase. The 54-year-old German he never returned then the owner turned to the police at the Avenza station.
After various searches, the military identified the fugitive in a farmhouse near Desenzano del Garda where he was then arrested. The 54-year-old will have to answer for fraud and evasion in addition to having to serve a sentence for cumulative sentences for 3 years inflicted by the court of Terni for crimes committed in the past.
Don’t worry about the motorbike, the Harley was recovered by the carabinieri in a room of the farmhouse, and is safe and sound!
