Vicenza, steals 3 cars but cannot be arrested: the effects of the Cartabia reform
He steals three cars, but the Italian justice can’t do anything about it. The Romanian Alessandro Mihai Dinca, aged 21, managed to break into three different cars on 4 January. The cameras, however, pin him down and some agents of the Railway Police manage to block him. Subsequently, the agents take him to the Police Headquarters and make him sign the report before sending him to a security cell, awaiting the hearing to be held expeditiously for aggravated theft.
Having obtained the go-ahead from the prosecutor on duty, the policemen set to work to trace the offended parties to the crime. In fact, given that the reform signed by the ex-keeper of the seals Cartabia immediately requires a lawsuit, without it it is impossible to proceed. Proving their speed, they immediately trace back to the car owners. The first car, a Punto, belongs to a young man who is on vacation. The father takes care of signing the lawsuit. The second and third, however, a Peugeot and an Audi, belong to one company. In the absence of the owner, he signs an employee.
The next day the hearing is held by express procedure. The pm Claudia Brunino he asks for the validation of the detention and insists on custody in prison. And here is the twist. Public defender, lawyer Valentina Nichele of Bassanodiscovers the flaw in the file: “But here there is no signature of the owner, only of the father… and here it is not the legal representative of the company who signs…”, he notes.
The exception censures the absence of a valid lawsuit, impediment to apply the coercive measure even in the immediacy of the fact. Thus the judge does not validate the detention, does not order the arrest in prison and blocks the process.
It is not the fault of the agents or prosecutors that the injured parties were on vacation, but the effect is worrying. Now more summonses and paperwork will be needed to complete the lawsuits within 90 days. Only then can the trial process continue, while the suspect remains at large. Process slowed down? “I would have asked for the terms of defense anyway…”, the lawyer fends off Nickel.
How writes the Everyday occurrencethe case of Vicenza is exemplary because it contains all the ingredients of a provision that is already agitating lawyers and magistrates, which the prefect of Venice Victor Zappalorto did declare: “The Cartabia reform? I hope it ends up in the attic: in fact, it ends up serving only the interests of the criminals”. And that he had the carabinieri add of Usmia (Associated Joint Military Union): “The reform disorients the forces of order”.
But not only in the Vicenza area. In Jesolo, things went even better for a 37-year-old Italian and a 33-year-old Tunisian, who entered the hotel at night Pineta Aparthotel. They grabbed a television and attempted to break into a safe, but were stopped by the officers alerted by the alarm that went off. Simple identification and release. The hotel is in fact owned by the Lajadira group of the Russian tycoon Andrey Alexandrovich Toporov who also owns the five-star hotel Lajadira in Cortina, where Toporov he was involved in the scandal of the renovation of the old Ampezzo hotel in the center, demolished to make a new one for 16 million euros.
The night of the theft Toporov he was not in Jesolo and was unable to sign the lawsuit. So the public prosecutor in Venice didn’t even authorize the arrest of the couple of burglars.
