The decision of the investigating judge of Naples North to grant house arrest to one of the two adult suspects in the case of gang abuse of the two cousins aged 12 and 10 in Caivano has sparked strong indignation and protests.
The victims' families said they were "astonished and saddened" by the news. "What he did to our daughter is terrible, and even if we have to wait for the trial, the conduct he is accused of is so serious that he should not have been released from prison," the parents of the youngest child said through their lawyer, Clara Niola.
Even the lawyer Angelo Pisani, representing the family of the 12-year-old girl, expressed his opposition to the decision of the investigating judge: "This is more than the Caivano decree, more than respect and protection for women and victims," he said. "These decisions convey the wrong message, that of intermittent justice."
The League has sent a question to Justice Minister Marta Cartabia. Senator Gianluca Cantalamessa, group leader in the anti-mafia commission, asked to clarify the reason for the 19-year-old's release. "We have seen how important it is to apply measures to protect victims of abuse," Cantalamessa said. "We cannot undermine all the efforts we are making to combat violence and juvenile delinquency."
The leader of the pack goes under house arrest in Veneto despite the contrary opinion of the Prosecutor's Office
The 19-year-old, involved in the affair with seven minors and an 18-year-old, was transferred to house arrest in a municipality in Veneto with the application of an electronic bracelet. The preliminary investigations judge of the court of Napoli Nord Fabrizio Forte has accepted, despite the contrary opinion of the Prosecutor's Office, the request for replacement of the precautionary measure advanced by the defense.
For the investigating judge, the repeated abuses against the two girls "were grafted into a territorial context of profound neglect and abandonment and were facilitated by the sense of belonging to the criminal group of its members, almost all of whom were minors or just over the age of majority (pack logic)"; for this reason, the 19-year-old's removal from Caivano, observes the investigating judge, "appears to be a rather reassuring element in terms of severing ties with the aforementioned context".
The Prosecutor's Office of North Naples, however, believes that the 19-year-old should have remained in prison due to "a highly violent and transgressive personality", and because of his "protagonist role in the criminal affair".
