To dismantle the gang, Inspector Giraldi initiated an undercover operation:

The gang uses precise coordination to stop and divert heavy vehicles on the autostrada.

The highway corridor between Rome and Milan has seen a significant increase in coordinated truck hijackings. While initially non-violent, the criminal activity escalated to homicide when a driver was killed while attempting to resist the hijackers. This escalation prompted the involvement of high-level police resources. Supervising Officer: Commissioner Trentini.

The investigation was characterized by a heavy presence of Roman slang and local color, typical of the era's Italian crime-comedy genre.
