BOLZANO. It should have already been in prisonbut it was there drunk on the streets of Bolzano. A man was stopped by the police after some citizens reported his harassing behavior while being released. After identifying the subject and ascertaining that it was middle-aged man visibly impaired by alcohol intake, the officers approached him to request his identification documents. Not being able to communicate with the individual in an optimal manner, as he was unable to stand up as he was in a semi-unconscious state, the police requested the intervention of 118 healthcare personnel, who then transported him to the emergency room of the Bolzano hospital. The following morning, he was then accompanied to the police station for identification.
From investigations carried out in the database of the Ministry of the Interior, the man was found to be this EC, a 50-year-old Romanian citizen with multiple criminal convictions and with a Detention Order issued by the Judicial Authority of Milan following a sentence of approximately 1 year of imprisonment. At the end of the Judicial Police proceedings, therefore, EC was declared under arrest and escorted to the local prison, where he will remain until the end of his sentence.
The Police Commissioner of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano Paolo Sartori, therefore, in consideration of what emerged and of the criminal precedents that emerged against the convicted person, issued against him the Personal Prevention Measure of the mandatory expulsion order, with a ban on returning to the Municipality of Bolzano for the next 3 years, which will become operational once the sentence has been served.
“The search and arrest of fugitives, on the one hand, guarantees that the sentences issued by the judicial authority are effectively executed and, on the other, makes it possible to prevent individuals whose social danger has been proclaimed, with their own responsibility criminal records, often particularly serious, continue to remain undisturbed in the area to commit crimes – the words of Sartori -. For these reasons, these investigative and operational activities also represent one of the priorities in the action of the State Police and law enforcement in general”.
