Nights in some Marbella reservations aren’t what they used to be. At least, at those tables aimed at lumpen with glittery t-shirts, nerdy tattoos and lots of tough-guy selfies, those who speak Spanish and speak Arabic and Italian. Álex di Francesco Ovejero and Omar Nasr Guerrero are missing, inseparable in partying and in crime. They are one of the examples of how, almost always, the filth of theft goes unpunished and is ridiculed by their victims and their captors.
The first of them is considered one of the foremost experts on busting safes, as reported by ABC since 2017. The last thing we knew about the “Italiano”, as we calls him in the world (he is the son of Stefano di Francesco, former deputy of the transalpine country), is that he was serving a sentence in Germany.
Now that he has been free for two years, his pending accounts in Spain are coming to the fore again. This newspaper was able to learn that he has around ten legal injunctions in force, including those for appearance and arrest. The sources consulted, of all solvency, suggest that he is in Italy, where he has a consolidated family and social network. In fact, this is where the police tracked down two months ago one of his acolytes, Carlos La Mola Navarro, a 36-year-old from Madrid. The latter has been raiding jewelry stores, restaurants, agencies, real estate agencies and others for more than a decade, in places as far from home as Catalonia.
Di Francesco Ovejero is also the son of a Spanish lawyer and has an apartment in San Sebastián de los Reyes, next to the Alegra shopping center. This newspaper was able to learn that this house is currently rented. Raised in a wealthy family in Chamartín, his origins have little to do with other colleagues like Niño Juan (Orcasitas) or any of his teachers (besides Juan José Vela Martín ‘el Mongolo’, who held a pizzeria in Mejía Lequerica). . : Niño Sáez, murdered in May 2017 in his neighborhood, Puerta del Ángel, and whose crime in a shooting remains a mystery.
Alex is cold, he uses his gang to get his hands dirty and, according to some police officers who participated in some of his 30 arrests, “he’s a stingy guy and very suspicious, but very shrewd in his own way.” of work, perhaps the most in this union, even if it is not the best known at the popular level.

With Omar, for example, he took 100,000 euros from the safe of a real estate agency on the Costa del Sol. They were arrested but released, as almost always. Robbery by force remains a “minor” offense under Spanish law, provided there is no violence. This happened in the spring of 2017, after two years of UDEV Central on their heels. He was only incarcerated for as long as it took to sell his Mercedes SUV and pay the 50,000 euro bail with the money.
Then he began to travel frequently to Germany and Belgium, always with his Italian passport, as he has dual nationality. In mid-2019, he committed two robberies in jewelry stores. One in Frankfurt and another in July of the same year in a similar establishment. In the first he left his DNA and the Germans requested the collaboration of our police, who alerted them of a trip in preparation for Di Francesco to Berlin, where he stayed for a week. His comings and goings in Central Europe were due to his contacts to prepare the coups, because in Spain he was already very exhausted.
They arrested him when he blew up the safe containing 45,000 euros in a Cologne hotel with Omar Nasr, who was returning to Marbella. But Di Francesco was sentenced to three and a half years for the Frankfurt jewelry store and more than a year for the hotel. In Murcia and Malaga, judges are looking for him for other misdeeds.
