The increase in penalties for those who rob armoured vans and vaults, but also a heavy crackdown on all robberies carried out by organised crime , with the immediate transfer of investigative powers from the district prosecutors' offices (which on the island are Cagliari, Oristano, Nuoro, Tempio, Lanusei and Sassari) to the district anti-mafia prosecutor's office which operates with four magistrates in the capital.

This, in short, is one of the major innovations envisaged in the Security Decree recently approved by the Government, strongly supported by the head of the Sardinian Anti-Mafia Directorate, Rodolfo Sabelli, and the Attorney General of Cagliari, Luigi Patronaggio.

Already in the aftermath of the dramatic armed attack on the Mondialpol vault in Sassari at the end of June 2025 (with a €12 million haul), the island's two top investigating magistrates had requested the possibility of introducing changes to better combat a phenomenon that is frightening not only in Sardinia.
