Giovanni Cassano, known as "Giovanni u curt" and half-brother of the former football player Antonio, was arrested for aggravated theft.
On 10 June with two accomplices still to be identified he had burgled an apartment in Sannicandro (Bari): a blow that, among gold jewelry, Rolex, designer bags and cash, has a total value of over 30 thousand euros.
After the theft, the three had fled aboard a gray Opel Astra with an altered license plate, immediately tracked down by the carabinieri in a garage in the San Paolo district of Bari. The engine was still hot but the license plate had already been changed.
The carabinieri managed to go back to Cassano, multi-prone with various crimes against heritage, by analyzing the images of the video surveillance cameras in the area.
The short stature, the build, his particular walk and above all - the most unequivocal element - a tattoo on his arm perfectly immortalized by the cameras.
At the time of the coup Cassano was subjected to the special surveillance regime, his driving license had also been revoked.
The military continues to investigate to identify the man's two accomplices.
