Scavengers in action: 82-year-old deceived and robbed of family jewels

A meticulously planned blow that turns love for family into a ruthless trap. In Cianciana, an 82-year-old retiree is the latest victim of the "lawyer scam", a script that continues to claim victims in the Agrigento area. It all begins with a phone call filled with anxiety: an authoritative voice informs the woman of a fictitious car accident in Sciacca caused by her granddaughter.

To prevent her from going to jail, immediate money is needed. A few minutes later, an accomplice knocks on the door. In shock, the elderly woman hands over the only treasure she possesses: the family jewels. Gold and memories worth 20 thousand euros vanish in an instant. Only after contacting relatives does the bitter truth emerge: the granddaughter is fine; it was just a deception. The Carabinieri are now investigating the case, in search of the pair of vultures who have robbed not only material goods but the peace of an entire life.
