They call him “Turin”, he grew up and lived his criminal education in the alleys of the Sanità district, his residential address places him a few meters away from the house where Totò was born: but his reputation as a bandit specialized in thefts / muggings The robbery of luxury watches comes far from Naples, and Milan in particular has for years become the city where he travels most often, in any case the city where he has often been arrested. And where the other afternoon he risked dying: falling from a scooter after a theft, chased by a boy, 26, who drove a Porsche and who had just robbed a “Patek Philippe” worth 38 thousand euros. It was around 6.30 pm on Monday, in Piazza della Repubblica. It was raining a lot.

The dynamics of the facts are reconstructed in the findings of the local police, intervened for the accident, while the policemen of the Flying Squad are working on everything that happened before that scooter slipped to the ground and one of the two men on board ended up against a pole. This is precisely Espedito Torino, 46, a suspect, operated in the night at the “Policlinico” for fractures to the pelvis, ribs, arm and a violent head injury (the man would not be in danger of life, however).

That’s how it went. At 18.30 a moped alongside the Porsche and hit the mirror, right in the center of piazza della Repubblica, at the height of the small via Descartes. The driver lowers the window to fix the rear-view mirror: this is the moment on which the Neapolitan “away” watch robbers have an immediate and lightning fast attack technique, almost infallible. And in fact, a second scooter swoops next to the Porsche and the passenger snatches the watch from the driver’s wrist. The two run away.

At that point, however, the boy in the Porsche instinctively accelerates and heels the scooter for a few tens of meters. Shortly after he hits it: in the next few days the investigations will be essential to understand if the accident was voluntary or if it was a wrong maneuver in an excited phase, perhaps also due to the rain. When the scooter ends up on the asphalt, the accomplice escapes on foot: Turin instead remains on the ground unconscious and the ambulance takes him to the “Policlinico”.

The policemen of the mobile squad arrested Espedito Torino as early as 2009, after he had robbed a 20,000 euro Rolex from a man who drove a luxury car in the area of Via Giovanni Da Procida. The same policemen then arrested him again in 2016, after the robbery of a 70 thousand euro watch in Viale Certosa, again with the technique of two scooters and the impact of the mirror. On that occasion the investigation was more extensive and had reconstructed the movements of a dozen robbers away from Naples, who were divided into groups of three for the assaults on the streets of Milan. The same gang, about ten days before the arrest, still in the same area of the city had also robbed the watch of Nenad Sakic, at the time assistant coach of Milan.
