He died of an 'infarctus', while waiting for a shower, but he hemoragged in his body. Horst Fantazzini was known to the Italian media as the Gentleman Robber. Horst Fantazzini was arrested 19.12 with another person, when he was riding a bike towards a bank. Cops found some rubber gloves, des ciseaux et des collants, and accused him of planning a bank robbery. Horst, who had already been sentenced in the seventies to life imprisonment for a series of bank robberies, had been out on controlled release since July

He was sentenced to 1.5 times life imprisonment, he never killed anyone, and he always used a toy pistol to not risk peoples/employees lives.

Only once, while evading capture, were some cops wounded.
By contast, in prison, he was victimised with inhumane treatment in the 'special cells' reserved for left wing prisoners of the Italian state after '68.
Moreover the vision of Fantazzini compared to the flight is summarized thus, according to its own words: It is more criminal to found a bank that to burglarize it. Recently its history had more or less been known by general public thanks to a film.

The press greatly appreciated his 'romantic' image as the Gentleman Robber at the expense of mentioning his individualistic anarchist believes.
The film flopped, alongside enormous difficulties of distribution and is untraceable/not showing/banned? at the present time.

Hemoragges were noted on the body of Fantazzini Horst, which indicate he was beaten after the arrest. Collectives of Bologna, where he was held, are pressing for a full investigation into his cause of death. The story of the infartus under the shower appears very doubtfull, and indicative of 'foul play'.
