Hit Squad (Italian: Squadra antifurto) is a 1976 Italian "poliziottesco"-comedy film directed by Bruno Corbucci. It is the second chapter in the Nico Giraldi film series starred by Tomas Milian.[3][4]
Plot
Marshal Nico Giraldi, a member of the anti-theft team, deals with criminals specializing in apartment and car thefts. Among these criminals are Blinds, a small-time thief prone to confessing, Zagaja, a stuttering thief, and Sicilian brothers Rosario and Salvatore Trapani. During a theft at an American villa (owned by a former CIA agent), the thieves acquire documents revealing a bribery system involving significant figures in the United States, known as Deal Zebra Point.
After contacting US emissary Ralf Douglas to demand money for the return of the documents, Blinds is killed. The murder of Zagaja alarms Marshal Giraldi, who suspects that Douglas had been robbed of something crucial. To uncover the truth, Giraldi tracks the Trapani brothers, who have been in contact with Douglas's emissaries. The attempt fails, and the brothers are killed. However, an emissary of Douglas leaves a clue that leads Giraldi to New York. There, he tracks down Douglas and has him arrested.
