They broke into a bank by crawling through sewage—and emerged as legends.
In 1976, under the glamorous streets of Nice, France, a group of thieves pulled off a bank robbery that defied logic and stunned the world. Led by the enigmatic Albert Spaggiari, the gang spent months tunneling through sewers and solid rock to breach the Société Générale vault during a long holiday weekend. Once inside, they worked for nearly three days—stealing millions in cash, gold, and jewels from over 400 deposit boxes. They left without a trace, except a note: "Without weapons, nor hate, nor violence."
The Nice Bank Heist: The Sewer Rats' Gambit (1976) brings this incredible story to life with forensic detail and a narrative flair. Author James G. Edwards II reveals the criminal genius behind the plot, the manhunt that followed, and the mythical escape that cemented Spaggiari's place in true crime history. This is more than a heist—it's a story of audacity, honor among thieves, and the thin line between genius and madness.
