The Naples Court of Review has overturned the pretrial detention order against Romualdo Del Mauro, 29, of Montesarchio. Accepting the arguments presented by lawyer Vittorio Fucci, the court ordered the young man's release, after he had been charged with a series of serious crimes.
On May 19, 2024, the Benevento prison It was the scene of a violent riot. A group of ten inmates orchestrated organized chaos, blocking the closing of the main gate to allow other prisoners to escape from their cells. Prison officers were blocked and threatened, preventing them from effectively intervening to quell the disturbances. During the riot, inmates used iron bars to vandalize the police station and damage various structures and objects within the prison.
The riot had dramatic consequences: two officers were injured and required medical treatment at the San Pio hospital emergency room. Furthermore, the rioters attempted to start a fire by using a lit stove and placing a gas cylinder nearby, intending to cause an explosion.
Following these events, on May 22, 2024, a precautionary order was issued against Romualdo Del Mauro and the other inmates involved. Del Mauro's charges included assault, resisting a public officer, assault, threats, aggravated damage to property, and attempted arson.
However, the Naples Court of Review granted the request of lawyer Vittorio Fucci, who presented a convincing defense for his client. The court found the lawyer's arguments valid and therefore decided to overturn the pre-trial detention order, decreeing Del Mauro's release.
