BUDAPEST. Ilaria Salis has been released from prison. After more than 15 months under maximum security at the Gyorskocsi Ucta in Budapest, this morning the 39-year-old Milanese activist, now candidate as the top candidate in the North West of the Green and Left Alliance for the European elections, left the cell. And the chains. She was taken to accommodation in Budapest, under house arrest, where they put an electronic bracelet on her.
A moment awaited since yesterday afternoon, when the office of the Hungarian lawyer in charge, Gyorgy Magyar, admitted: «We received the bank transfer (of the 40 thousand euro deposit, ed.) and we immediately sent the money to the Hungarian Court of Auditors – explains partner Balint Halmos – from here all that will be needed is notification to the Budapest court”. And the notification arrived this morning. Now Ilaria Salis is in the accommodation where she will serve the precautionary measure. “Finally we can hug Ilaria again, we hope that this is a temporary stop before finally seeing her in Italy” commented her father, Roberto Salis, who visited her in prison yesterday morning. He had seen her “combative” and hoped to be able to hug her today: so it was.
