Roma: 148 Crimes and a 30-Year Sentence
In over two decades of criminal activity, Roma has amassed a staggering 148 documented offenses. His illicit endeavors have spanned fraud and petty theft, primarily focused on pickpocketing and robberies across Rome and Milan subway systems. Despite this extensive record, Roma has only spent a few days behind bars.
The protagonist of this tale is a 31-year-old woman of Croatian descent. For 15 years, she employed a meticulous “pregnancy planning” method to avoid incarceration. Inspired by the film “Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow,” she meticulously timed her pregnancies to escape arrest.
Her meticulous planning and calculated actions continued until her recent arrest. The Carabinieri, acting on a warrant, apprehended her at a Romani camp and transferred her to the Rebibbia penitentiary. Her sentence? A staggering 30 years of imprisonment.
Roma’s criminal career began in 2004 with petty robberies and muggings on Rome’s subway. Her reach gradually expanded to other Italian cities, including Milan and Brescia. In 2019, she was arrested in Milan but was eventually released due to her pregnancy. Despite this temporary reprieve, her criminal activities persisted. Repeated arrests and trials followed, but her release was always facilitated by her burgeoning belly.
Despite accumulating numerous sentences, Roma’s total prison time has reached an unprecedented 30-year record. Her arrest and impending sentence mark the culmination of a life defined by calculated evasion and criminal activity.
