Two of the four positions of as many defendants involved in the investigation into a gang that they made believe they could hire at the Italian Post Office in exchange for a fee of around 20 thousand euros are defined. Six victims were identified, all from the province of Palermo, who had already paid a deposit, in different amounts, for a total of 45 thousand euros. The judicial police sections of the Carabinieri, the State Police and the Financial Police of the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Sciacca brought to light what would have been a criminal association aimed at fraud. I decided on a plea deal and a sentence. The judge of the Sciacca court, Dario Hamel, ratified the plea agreement of 1 year and 6 months in prison for Sylvia Adamczyk, 51 years old, of Polish nationality but resident in Palermo.
Antonina Campisciano, 47 years old, from Ribera, resident in Caltabellotta, was sentenced to 1 year and 8 months in prison. The main character of the entire investigation is undoubtedly Alfonso Caruana, 48 years old, postal worker, on trial with the ordinary rite together with Pasqualina Serpico, 53 years old from Castelvetrano. At the time of the blitz, the details of the operation were made known during a press conference, which was held in the premises of the Carabinieri provincial command of Agrigento, in the presence of lieutenant colonel Roberto Vergato, commander of the Sciacca Company.
“A mechanism had been created ad hoc to make people who had economic problems, lack of work, and some victims even got into debt fall into the trap, adding insult to injury – said the lieutenant. with the. Vergato -. The former postal employee knew certain mechanisms, and enriched the context of the scam against the victims, with a representative office he had in Palermo, qualifying himself as a union leader”. The defendants would have taken advantage of the state of need of the subjects, as they were all unemployed, and desperately looking for a job. The enticement of the victims, aged 40 to 60, took place in the most disparate ways, given the “hunger” for work, especially by word of mouth.
