That fuel theft is serious . The dismissal of a case of theft of diesel fuel from an Arst bus which occurred on 20 October 2022 in the city was rejected today in court in Sassari. It is the preliminary hearing judge Giuseppe Grotteria who decides that the prosecutor orders the indictment according to the reasons given by the lawyer Pierluigi Carta, the company's lawyer.
Re-evaluating the significance of an episode which saw, last year, a 67-year-old from a hinterland town extract diesel fuel from a bus with a plastic pump . The latter, an employee of a company that worked in the Arst car park, was caught during the operation and, according to the prosecution, ran away with 20 liters of petrol , leaving the means he had used to complete the theft on site.
For the lawyer it is necessary to contemplate the aggravating circumstances of the abuse of work services because, in fact, he worked within the Company's space; of the fraudulent vehicle, having used the plastic pump by connecting it to the tank; and having committed the crime on things intended for public service and public utility. Furthermore , the lawyer excludes the tenuousness of the gesture because there had already been several reports of similar thefts and a complaint had been received about a person from a town in the hinterland, linked to Arst, who was selling diesel fuel under the counter at competitive prices . The new indictment from the public prosecutor is expected within ten days.
