Benevento, inmate attacks prison police director. The protagonist of Neapolitan origins was recently transferred to Benevento.
A prisoner of Neapolitan origins, transferred to the Benevento prison for security reasons, because he was part of a group of troublemakers, attacked the director of the Penitentiary Police with a rudimentary knife.
Asppe reports that the attack was triggered after the contestation of a disciplinary sanction. According to the vice-regional of Asppe Campania, a Consipe confederate, Tommaso De Lia, “It is only thanks to the professionalism of the Penitentiary Police staff that the worst was avoided today in Benevento. Unfortunately, too much has been allowed in recent times and carrying out general searches, combing through everything that is not permitted with the limited staff available, is increasingly rare and difficult.”
According to the regional secretary of Asppe Luigi Castaldo, “an organizational reorganization of the Penitentiary Police Corps is urgently needed, which puts the safety and protection of personnel on the agenda as a priority”.
