Lured on social media by two people who threatened him with publishing hot ads indicating his cell phone number if he did not pay certain sums. Two men from Montemiletto ended up in handcuffs, arrested by the carabinieri of the Mirabella Eclano Company. The two are under house arrest accused of aggravated extortion in competition.
Everything would have started with a first request for money from the two men towards the victim. The latter would have made a top-up of a sum of money in favor of the two on a prepaid card. Subsequently, the requests became increasingly demanding. At this point, the victim turned to the carabinieri.
With the help of the military, he set up a meeting with his extortionists at which the carabinieri showed up. The two attempted to flee, but to no avail. After a short chase, they were stopped at Venticano. During the escape, they tried to get rid of a cell phone that was recovered by the carabinieri. The checks on the smartphone allowed to reconstruct the contours of the story. Therefore, the two men were arrested.
