weapon possession smishing scam bank fraud Bologna Tolentino

In Bologna, Carabinieri reported two separate incidents in Piazza dei Martiri involving the possession of offensive weapons. A 60-year-old Cuban man was intercepted while carrying a Rambo-style survival knife concealed in his clothing. In a separate incident occurring shortly after midnight, a 28-year-old Italian man was identified following a verbal altercation and threats involving a group of youths in a high-capacity sports car; he was reported for the possession of a machete.

In Tolentino, authorities have reported three individuals for aggravated fraud following a sophisticated smishing scam. The victim, a 47-year-old woman, was contacted by individuals posing as law enforcement officers claiming she was under investigation. This deception led her to transfer a total of 32,900 euros via two instant bank transfers. Investigators have successfully seized 18,500 euros from one of the implicated bank accounts.
