Overview
- Pasquale Iacovone, serving a life sentence for suffocating his sons in 2013 in Ono San Pietro and setting their home on fire, has passed the 10-year threshold to request temporary prison leave.
- Mother Erica Patti says she has received no notification about any request or approval for a permit and describes living in renewed fear.
- Sentencing judges wrote that the murders were carried out to make his ex‑wife suffer and labeled him socially dangerous, while Patti says he has shown no remorse.
- Current procedures do not guarantee that victims are informed about decisions on 'permessi premio', despite a Senate-approved bill that would require notification.
- Patti urges a formal role for victims in permit evaluations and calls for safeguards such as electronic monitoring or no‑contact orders if any leave is granted.
