The South American, which is part of an international gang that commits in, focused primarily on luxury homes in Europe. He was the spider in the web of the criminal organization. He was also fully active in the Netherlands, say the Greek authorities, who even add that the man in our country was considered ‘danger to public order’. He would have been deported earlier and have a entry ban.
He was arrested in the Greek place Attica by a team that specializes in tracing and picking up members who are part of organized crime.
According to the police, the group used a special climbing method to penetrate apartments above the first floor and steal valuables, such as jewelry, expensive watches, and other valuables. The gang had a preference for brands such as Louis Vuitton, Cartier and Rolex.
Passports were also taken if those were available. Those travel documents were sold to criminal foreigners through a network of illegal drug trafficking.
Glass cutters, climbing ropes and screwdrivers
The thefts were professionally tackled. For example, glass cutters, climbing ropes, screwdrivers and cooling feet were used in the climb and the penetration of the apartments. To prevent discovery, the gang also had the decision on forged documents, hats and gloves.
The arrested man had already been arrested in the past for similar crimes in the Netherlands, but also in Belgium, France and America, among others. In Greece he managed to escape twice in arrest, but in the end he was caught.
