happened recently in southern england,as i recall a shopkeeper was running a building society agency branch and a large sum of money went missing.initially the building society denied liability but relented ,probably because of the negative publicity.

[QUOTE=Iona]Remember reading something similar happening in a leafy southern England village a couple of years ago... the branch manager did a runner with tens of thousands of £££s! Not sure if he's ever been caught. Maybe he went to Italy?? :rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
Wasn't that the bloke who left an IOU for a million pounds in the safe so it wasn't stealing only borrowing!

[QUOTE=Frank]Giovanni,
How fast we forget. remember when I posted about The Toxic Triangle in Puglia. You asked for facts. I gave them to you. Even if they were outdated.
John has posted something which is of interest to me. I have looked at the ANSA site as well as Googled and have found no reference. I also subscribe to a Puglia alert service and have heard nothing about this.
The only thing which has happened lately other than lousey weather is a little Mafia activity.
So before I call some people in the town and make a fool of myself it would be nice to have some facts. Other than that, I assume that John was getting bored and he decided to stir up the forum with this story.
It would be nice if it was the Bank of Napoli.[/QUOTE]
i conceed, valid piont..... but don't forget the triangle was in campania......
not pulgia.........:)

John,
Some of us really enjoy your posts. I enjoy watching the debates develop and the way you don't necessarily state an opinion in the first place.
I have learnt a lot about Italian politics, not necessarily fact, but opinions. For that I am grateful. I have a house in an area where I am learining the culture. Your posts help with that.
In addition, I have learnt a lot about how to deal with certain building aspects. Efflourescence being one of them. These have helped me with informed discussions during the refurbishment of my property.
Please never feel you have to explain why you post things. I for one enjoy them. Just keep them coming.
Andy

San Giovanni Rotondo è il paese di Padre Pio, ma è anche la sede di un istituto di credito diffuso sul territorio pugliese, coinvolto in una vicenda poco chiara che vede protagonisti ignari correntisti della zona. Nicola Mitrione e Antonio Maccarone vivono a a Carpino, quattromila abitanti nel cuore della Puglia garganica, in provincia di Foggia. Mitrione ha una azienda agricola, come molti suoi concittadini vive da sempre dei frutti della terra. Antonio Maccarone ha un lungo passato di emigrante in Germania, mani nere di lavoro nei campi e l’aria di chi sa cosa vuol dire la fatica vera. Coi soldi del lavoro in terra straniera ha comprato un podere, dove alleva cinghiali e galline. La famiglia gli manca, le due figlie nate da un matrimonio tedesco sono rimaste lì. Le vede due volte l’anno, cerca di essere felice così.
I due sono uniti da una comune sventura, quella di essere stati correntisti della stessa banca. L’unica a Carpino fino a qualche tempo fa, la Banca di Credito Cooperativo di San Giovanni Rotondo. Il direttore di filiale, Giuseppe Fiorentino, giovane, cordiale, sicuro di se’, era un punto di riferimento per il paese, abitato da gente semplice che ha fiducia piena nelle istituzione. E da quelle parti la banca è una istituzione.
Nicola e Antonio hanno perso tanti soldi, novantamila euro il primo, almeno trentamila il secondo. Li hanno preso nella maniera più inaspettata: lasciandoli in banca. Pensavano che sarebbero stati al sicuro. Invece, un brutto giorno di novembre del 2003, si accorgono che dai loro conti correnti mancano molti soldi. Qualcuno li ha spostati, riportati e rispostati dai loro conti, in un gioco dal meccanismo difficile da decifrare. Una sventura condivisa con molti compaesani.
Chi ha preso i loro risparmi di una vita e come mai la Banca non vuole restituirglieli ?
Una inchiesta giudiziaria sta ricostruendo la verità dei fatti. Per ora una richiesta di rinvio a giudizio per il Fiorentino e altri dipendenti della filiale di Carpino pesano come un macigno sulla onorabilità e sulla correttezza della Banca di Credito Cooperativo di San Giovanni Rotondo.

Thanks for the update..
Remember reading something similar happening in a leafy southern England village a couple of years ago... the branch manager did a runner with tens of thousands of £££s! Not sure if he's ever been caught. Maybe he went to Italy?? :rolleyes:
