Increased controls at Naples station, arrests and police reports

Naples. Controls at Naples central station have been intensified, metal detectors and tendiflex tapes to check passengers and visitors. Using tendiflex tapes and Railway Police desks, five access gates have been created through which users pass under the gaze of the police, who thus check firsthand all people entering, and identify suspects more easily and check them, also through the use of metal detectors provided. At Naples Central Station these services were carried out with the help of the men of the Naples police headquarters: Canine Unit and Emergency Operations Unit (Uopi) and the military involved in the “Safe Roads” operation. Similar control methods were set up in the stations of Salerno, Caserta and Aversa where the patrols, positioned at the access points of the stations, always with the aid of tendiflex and metal detectors, were able to visually check all people entering and their luggage. 1367 people were identified, 335 bags were checked. One person was arrested for threatening, resisting and injuring a public official. In addition, 3 people were reported, two for selling counterfeit goods and one for resisting a public official, two for photo-signalling, 2 for criminal seizures and 8 for administrative seizures, 10 for administrative sanctions. In particular, this morning, at the Naples Central station, RG, a forty-seven-year-old Neapolitan with a criminal record, attacked a Trenitalia Corporate Protection employee, who was on duty aboard a train. The man has numerous police records for seven different episodes of threats and resistance to a public official, two of which were committed against today's victim, because they were hindering his activity as an illegal vendor that he carries out on trains that run in this region. When the Corporate Protection operator asked him to get off the train because he did not have a ticket, he first threw a plastic bag at him and then violently headbutted him in the face, causing personal injuries that are judged to heal in ten days. Continuing to repeatedly threaten him with further physical and personal retaliation, he got off the departing train and attempted to leave the station. However, the fugitive was unable to avoid the attention of the Railway Police officers who were present at one of the five entry points, who blocked and arrested him. The man is under house arrest pending the summary trial, which will be held tomorrow. Also during the extraordinary checks at the Naples Central station, on Saturday, MN and DF, Senegalese aged 30 and 35, were stopped with large bags inside which they were hiding bags and clothing with counterfeit brands of well-known brands including Moschino, Louis Vuitton, Gucci. The two were reported for the crime of receiving stolen goods and the goods were subjected to criminal seizure.
