By altering a character on the license plate he evaded payment of the toll on the ring road Napoli since 2020: the State Police reports a 45-year-old Neapolitan.
Following a complaint from the company Tangenziale di Napoli SpA for evading the payment of the motorway toll from 2020 to date, investigators from the Fuorigrotta Highway Police Subsection have begun their investigations in search of the driver of a blue Kymco DownTown motorcycle who, while driving on the tracks of the Tangenziale di Napoli, has repeatedly avoided paying the toll by altering the number 6 on the license plate of his motorcycle with the number 8.
Always using the same modus operandi, the driver avoided paying by taking advantage of the time needed for the barrier to close, in particular by tacking onto the vehicle in front of him in the automated Telepass lane or by pulling alongside the vehicle making the payment in the automatic lane.
In this way, he believed he could avoid payment without being identified and sanctioned; in fact, thanks to the alteration of the license plate, the contestation of the missed payments was always formalized to the owner of another motorcycle unaware of the facts.
By examining the numerous photographs provided by the company Tangenziale di Napoli SPA, the police identified the real license plate number of the motorcycle whose owner, a man resident in Naples, did not have ownership of a device associated with a regular contract for the payment of the toll.
Furthermore, following further investigations, they verified that the driver of the motorcycle was the son of the owner, a 45-year-old Neapolitan; therefore, the latter was reported for fraudulent insolvency.
