It is not known whether he dived into the lake at the sight of the police arriving, or (unlikely) if he had already soaked before and was then caught in the middle of the bathroom. Certainly, its exit from the waters of the Lario was not the same as the others. Because with him, to emerge, there was also a bicycle complete with a basket and backpack.

Not his, of course, but a two-wheeler that had only been stolen the day before. Reason that probably could have prompted the man, a 27-year-old Italian resident in Brindisi but domiciled in Como, to hide in the water – simulating the bathroom (with the bike between his legs) – at the sight of the arriving agents. “I knew you would ask me about the bicycle,” he would have candidly admitted immediately afterwards in front of the police.
