BRESCELLO (Reggio Emilia) – Scratched the Scratch Card surface at the point where the code that allows the retailer's electronic equipment to check whether the coupon is successful or not can be revealed. Having identified the winning tickets, he kept them for himself by paying the amount due so as not to arouse suspicion, only to put on sale to the unsuspecting customers those of whom he had already ascertained the failure to win.

In this way the 25-year-old bartender from Mantua, whose activity is located in the Bassa, tricked the patrons and, for this reason, he was denounced by the police of the Brescello station on charges of fraud on the market and fraud. To activate the military were some customers who, after purchasing the coupons, finding the anomaly of the barcode slightly "scratched", asked for explanations to the young man from Mantua who, apologizing for the inconvenience, compensated them for the cost of the coupon . During the inspections, the military ascertained that the "scraped" coupons were as many as 52 and therefore had seizures.

The investigations carried out under the State Monopoly made it possible to ascertain that the seized Scratches had been validated on dates prior to the day of the seizure and, therefore, could not be put up for sale. Moreover, it has been verified that in the recent past just in that bar there had been a series of winnings collected by the same bartender who, in light of what was verified, was reported.

Further investigations are underway to establish the total amount of revenue improperly received by the bartender and to identify any further defrauded customers who, unlike those who activated the military, did not notice the ploy that saw them buy losing tickets.
