Man with Tumor Robs Banks for Inheritance

ROME (Reuters) - Diagnosed with incurable lung cancer, a 53-year-old Italian father robbed more than 10 banks so he could build a big enough inheritance to leave to his children.

   

The married storekeeper, who once sold dresses in the north-eastern town of Savona, netted an estimated 115,000 euros (about $150,000) after turning to a life of crime, according to Italian media reports.

"They diagnosed me in 2003 with an incurable disease ... I didn't want to leave my family with financial problems," he told police, leading Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera reported.

Police described the robber as "a pleasant person, well cultured," who would appear in banks with a bag that he claimed was full of plastic explosives. The bluff worked, so well in fact, that he robbed one bank in the city of Turin three times.

Corriere said he would also strap wires to his body and pretend to be a suicide bomber.

"I have explosives on and this is a robbery," he would write on a note and slip it to the teller, newspaper Il Secolo XIX wrote. The paper said he had lung cancer.

Police were hot on his trail after the crime spree began in July 2003. Then, suddenly in October, the bank robberies halted.

"I was recovering from treatment in the hospital," he confessed after his arrest.

Beyond jail time, the father of three could also be forced to give back to the banks the 115,000 euro inheritance he stole.
