He was hiding in a sheepfold in the Ittiri countryside, where he had found refuge with the help of a supporter. But his attempt to evade capture failed when the Carabinieri surrounded the farm, cutting off his escape route.
Thus ended the fugitive status of a 42-year-old man from the Oristano area, residing in Monteleone Rocca Doria , on Wednesday, October 28. He had been ordered to serve a final sentence for crimes against persons and property, weapons and drug violations, and tax evasion. The operation was conducted by members of the Alghero Carabinieri Company, supported by the Sardinian Hunters Helicopter Squadron , as part of a territorial patrol that began at dawn and continued until late evening.
After prolonged surveillance in the Ittiri countryside, the military located the wanted man inside a sheepfold . At the time of the raid, the 42-year-old attempted to escape on foot through the thick vegetation, but surrendered almost immediately , finding himself facing the encircling device set up by the Carabinieri.
During the investigation , a 39-year-old local man, already known to law enforcement, was charged at large and held responsible for aiding and abetting and receiving stolen goods. According to investigators' findings, the man allegedly provided the fugitive with food, lodging, and constant logistical support, allowing him to evade capture. During the searches, a motorcycle stolen from a woman in Sassari on October 7th was also recovered. According to investigations, the motorcycle was used by the alleged abettor to assist the wanted man. The vehicle was returned to its rightful owner. Following the investigation, the 42-year-old was transferred to Bancali Prison in Sassari to serve his sentence.
