An employee checked and recorded the numbers, thus confirming the elderly woman. However, immediately after, the owner of the store, grabbed the “scratch”, went out, got on his bike and disappeared.
The carabinieri, who were called immediately, sounded the alarm and notified the competent state authority that the specific merchant should not, under any circumstances, collect the amount.
