If you don't mind, this is a stick up! Italy's "gentleman bandit" known for his affable style while robbing banks in the 1960s and 1970s recently died in prison of a heart attack. According to Reuters, Horst Fantazzini conducted nonviolent stickups across northern Italy. He won his nickname after sending roses to a bank teller who fainted during a robbery. Fantazzini enjoyed "semi-liberty," an alternative prison sentence which allows model inmates to spend part of their time outside of jail, when he was arrested shortly before his death for trying to rob a Bologna bank.
