The criminal group was composed of three people originally from the province of Foggia who had been raging in Alta Irpinia for several years, attacking, even with the use of high-powered explosives, ATMs of banks and post offices.
The investigations, coordinated by the Avellino prosecutor's office, charged the suspects with two attempted thefts at two ATMs in Calitri (Avellino), dating back to July 2020.
