Tunisian siblings receive 30-month sentences for Principality scooter theft spree
Two brothers from Menton have been convicted by Monaco's criminal court for stealing five Piaggio scooters across the Principality over a three-month period.
A pair of Tunisian brothers residing in Menton have been handed 30-month prison sentences following their conviction for a systematic scooter theft operation that targeted the Principality.
The criminal court found the siblings guilty on multiple charges, including the theft of five Piaggio scooters, possession of stolen goods, and operating as part of a criminal network. Their illegal activities spanned a three-month period from late January through mid-April this year.
The case highlights ongoing concerns about cross-border crime affecting Monaco, with perpetrators often based in neighbouring communities but targeting the Principality's valuable assets. The sentences reflect the court's firm stance against organised theft operations that impact residents and visitors alike.
