The scam

For years Valeria Satta, 48-year-old Sardinian from Capoterra, on the phone had pretended to be Alessandra D’Ambrosio and to have a long-distance romantic relationship with Cazzaniga, who fell into the trap even with the complicity of the one she thought was a trusted friend, Manuela Passero (also a former volleyball player), from Vimercate. In the papers of the investigation we read that “with tricks and deceptions” La Satta has established and cultivated a constant telephone relationship, showing via social also photos of a well-known model (Maya Mancini, used the photos of the Brazilian top Alessandra D’Ambrosio). And then she started asking for financial help for medical bills and financial difficulties. During the survey, the movements of these years were reconstructed, 1,400 transactions between 2008 and 2021 and even the purchase of a car. The sums paid by Cazzaniga were used for withdrawals of cash from various bank and post office branches or for personal purchases. Part of the money was transferred to her accomplice residing in Brianza (about 90 thousand euros) and to several family members.
