Curiosity gets suspect nabbed

Published September 4, 2002

ROME, Sept 3: A man suspected of involvement in an 8.6-million-euro (8.5-million-dollar) hold-up in Germany was arrested in Italy because he did too much communicating about the heist over the Internet, Italian police said on Tuesday.

The Italian-born man of German nationality was arrested at his home in Nola, near the southern port city of Naples, after investigators discovered he had been searching the web for details of their inquiries and had also used Internet “chat rooms” to communicate, in German, with his alleged accomplices.
