Like Sofia Loren in the film “Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow” she systematically managed to avoid prison because she was always pregnant. But this time for 'Madame Furto', the 32-year-old Bosnian citizen known in Rome for her long career as a pickpocket, the prison doors have opened. The sentence of more than 25 years in prison has become enforceable against her. Madame Furto was arrested last March by a patrol of Carabinieri from the Via Vittorio Veneto station, who notified her of a provision for the execution of concurrent sentences, issued against her by the Court of Rome, for 42 thefts from her. The relative sentences were never served due to the various pregnancies and the numerous small children she had to take care of. Also in March she was found to be pregnant and for this reason the judicial authority decided to postpone the execution until the date of birth. In the meantime the sentence has become enforceable. So yesterday the Carabinieri of the Quirinale Station noticed her wandering around among the passengers in transit at the Termini station in a suspicious attitude and stopped her. At the barracks they notified her of the measure that sent her to the Rebibbia prison. She must serve, in total, 25 years, 7 months and 7 days in prison.
