Attempted robbery last night in Quartu : a 46-year-old man, Riccardo Aliberti , was shot in the chest by a member of the gang who broke into his villa in Capitana shortly before.
At that point the criminals fled hastily and empty handed, taking away the weapons and masks they were wearing at the time of the assault.
Riccardo Aliberti is now at Brotzu, where he was taken by a 118 ambulance. Late at night he was hospitalized for observation. It's not life threatening.
Four, maybe five bandits went into action. Aliberti was at his house on the coast when he saw a group of strangers approaching from the courtyard, their faces covered by balaclavas, who allegedly ordered him to hand over the money.
The victim reacted: the bandits backed away and suddenly a gunshot would have been fired and hit her in the chest. Then the escape.
Carabinieri and police investigate to understand if it was really a robbery attempt gone wrong or if, behind the blitz, another motive could be hidden . Several people were questioned during the night: the investigations are coordinated for the carabinieri by Captain Michele Cerri, commander of the Quartu Company. For the police station in via Firenze, by the manager Michele Venezia.
