Italian man was the only son of retired Graziella dal’Oglio, 58 years old, and unemployed. Clerk suspected an elderly woman with ‘unshaven beard’ wanting to renew ID card. Local mayor mentioned that the retired woman, Graziella dal’Oglio, hadn’t been seen for about ten years.
“It all started with a clerk’s gut feeling. A scheduled appointment with a woman to renew her expired ID card. A woman looking very much like the person in the photo on the document,” Borgo Virgilio’s mayor, Francesco Aporti, told Corriere della Sera.
The clerk reported the incident to the local police, who launched an investigation. After checking security camera footage, the officers saw that the supposed elderly woman drove to the clerk’s office despite not having a driver’s license.
Police also searched healthcare service databases, finding no recent records of Graziella but noticing that she declared an annual income of 53,000 euros (around $330,000) from pensions.
Upon suspicion, the police phoned her son, informing him that the ID renewal had not been completed, and his mother needed to return to finalize the process. The son said she would come back. When he appeared at the clerk’s office, an undercover officer questioned him and escorted him to the police station across the street.
There, during interrogation, the man admitted to impersonating his deceased mother. Although his name was not disclosed, Mayor Aporti revealed he is a 58-year-old nurse, Graziella’s only child, who was unemployed. His father, a doctor, had also passed away.
