Illegal supplies of electricity and water through illegal connections were discovered in a house in a municipality in the Ogliastra area by the Arbatax finance police.
It all started a few months ago with the examination of the documentation acquired by the companies supplying the services and the analysis of the data referring to the consumption of water and electricity. The inconsistencies emerged immediately: the costs indicated in the bills, small for a family of four, were not in line with the national standard and statistics.
Once the investigations were carried out in the house of the suspects - on the basis of an inspection decree issued by the Public Prosecutor of Lanusei, which directed the investigations, and carried out by the Financiers and the technical staff of the companies providing the service, Enel and Abbanoa - the situation was discovered abusive.
The military noticed a well in the courtyard which was probably connected to the water mains, once opened a polyethylene pipe was found served by a gate valve and a pressure switch for pressure regulation.
From the various tests carried out, it emerged that, despite the closure of the main meter and therefore with the total disconnection from the public water network, the water arrived inside the house , bypassing the meter with the consequent abusive supply of the water service.
The two alleged perpetrators are now under investigation for aggravated theft.
