In 1986, wanted by police for 50 armed robberies, Valerio Viccei fled Italy, and arrived in London, England. The next year, he, and his accomplice, Parvez Latif walked into the KSDC and asked to rent a safe deposit box. Once inside the vault, the men pulled out their pistols and overpowered the bank manager and his guards. They hung a ‘closed’ sign on the front door, while they ushered a few accomplices into the bank. Ransacking the vault, the thieves fled with an estimated £60 million (nearly $200 million (USD) by today’s standards). Viccei then hopped on the next plane to South America – his riches in tow! While in South America, Viccei began to yearn for the Ferrari Testarossa he had left behind in England. So, he made the decision to return to London and make arrangements to have his car shipped to his new home. Needless to say – not the best idea he ever had. Upon returning to the UK, he was identified and arrested – and sentenced to 22 years in jail! Long story short, he was deported to Italy in 1992 to serve the rest of his sentence. In April 2000, while on a day pass from prison, he met his demise – in a gunfight with police. What does this have to do with Match and Fable’s latest role? Nothing really!
