Mario, 80, who lives in a nursing home in Fiuggi, Italy, escaped at night and visited other cities along the highway but never paid the fare. Now the public ministry accuses him of criminal insolvency and requires the man to pay compensation in the amount of four thousand euros.
In accordance with Corriere della SeraMario used the scheme for two years, from 2020 to 2022, on more than 100 trips to be able to use motorways without having to pay tolls. The man drove his Fiat Punto closer to the car in front, and as soon as the gates opened, Mario accelerated to pass too. On his way out, he did the same.
Even if the man managed to pass without paying, cameras at the toll booths filmed all entries and exits and allowed the authorities to identify the owner of the car.
“I was bored at night,” he explained to his lawyer. Corriere della Sera. “I didn’t pay because the highway is public, they can’t charge tolls. Not to mention that the prices are too high for the service they offer,” he explained.
The lawyer explained that the payment of compensation in the amount of four thousand euros would avoid accusations of the Ministry of Defense of guilty insolvency, to which the man replied that he did not want to pay.
