Overview
- Police have searched for more than a week across Emilia-Romagna, Lombardy and Sardinia, with attention on the Cadrezzate area where he lived after release.
- He emailed VareseNews claiming the work-house resembled the old psychiatric-judicial hospitals and said he had rebuilt a life before the new security measure.
- Investigators are examining whether he had help, including from his partner, and are reviewing earlier local complaints about vandalism and threats near Cadrezzate.
- He left the facility by scaling a six-metre wall using an improvised rope made from electrical wires, according to accounts of the escape.
- Rights group Antigone previously rated the Castelfranco Emilia facility positively, and legal experts note that absconding from a security measure can reset time already served under it.
