Spotted Fleximanthe man accused of having cut at least five poles supporting speed cameras in the province of with a flexible hose Rovigo. The Carabinieri of Adria and the mobile radio operations unit reported it. This would be a 42-year-old man with a criminal record, resident in Polesine but born in Padua. He would have been identified thanks to a video. During the search of his house, all the elements necessary for the investigation were seized. While the alleged crime against him would be that of damage.
In total, they are five the episodes attributed to the suspect, in the province of Rovigo: two damages in Bosaro on 19 May and 19 July last year; in Corbola and Taglio di Po on Christmas Eve; and in Rosolina on January 3rd, along State Road 309 Romea. In all five cases the man would have operated in the same way, clearly cutting – with a hose – the pole supporting the speed meters.
The “exploits” of the Venetian Fleximan were also imitated in other regions, from Liguria to Emilia-Romagna. The character, in any case, was quite divisive: if on the one hand he was exalted on social media as a sort of hero for having knocked down the poles of the speed detectors, on the other hand he was harshly criticized especially by the families of the victims of the street.
