Naples, patient robbed of 800 euro pension during hospitalization at San Paolo hospital

Naples. “A 66-year-old man was robbed of his pension, about 800 euros, while hospitalized at the San Paolo hospital on via Terracina. The perpetrator of the theft acted while the victim was sedated. The carabinieri are at work, we hope they will identify the thief as soon as possible. We have asked for an internal investigation to be opened. If the perpetrator of the theft is a member of the hospital staff, we will ask for his dismissal. If it is a person who entered from outside, they will have to explain to us how it is possible that no one intervened to stop him. We are faced with an event of exponential gravity, absolutely unacceptable”. The regional councilor of the Greens and member of the Health commission, Francesco Emilio Borrelli, and the host of “La Radiazza” on Radio Marte, Gianni Simioli, reported it. “My brother-in-law suffers from ALS,” said Giuseppe Liguori, a relative of the victim. On Sunday he was taken by ambulance to the San Paolo hospital following a respiratory crisis. Once in the ward he was sedated due to his agitated state. When his wife was allowed to assist him, she found herself faced with an absurd scene. My brother-in-law had been deprived of the lower part of the tracksuit he was wearing when he was admitted. He was basically left in his underwear under the covers. In the pocket there were around 800 euros, which disappeared along with the trousers. We were shocked and reported the theft to the police. It is inconceivable that a sick person could be the victim of something like this during a hospital stay”.
