The Carabinieri of the Bagnolo in Piano station executed an order to increase the precautionary measure, sending to prison a 52-year-old man, originally from Naples but domiciled in the Reggio Emilia area.
The subject, already known to the authorities for property crimes committed in Campania, had been subjected since May 2024 to the alternative measure of probation to social services, as ordered by the Surveillance Court of Naples. The measure had been applied in reference to a cumulation of sentences provision expiring on 10 November 2028.
The situation worsened in August 2024, when the man, in Marigliano (Naples), violated the conditions of the alternative measure, committing a serious episode of aggravated extortion. According to the charges, he had asked a victim for the sum of 22.000 euros for the return of the car previously stolen from him, a typical case of a "return horse". The timely intervention of the Carabinieri had led to the arrest in flagrante delicto and, subsequently, to the replacement of prison custody with house arrest, as ordered by the investigating judge of the Court of Nola.
On January 14, the Naples Surveillance Office found that the man, by committing the crime of extortion during the alternative measure, had compromised the conditions necessary to continue the probation regime. Therefore, the court revoked the alternative measure, ordering the immediate transfer to prison.
The order was executed yesterday morning by the Carabinieri of Bagnolo in Piano, who accompanied the 52-year-old to the competent prison, thus ending his probation.

The article is about a man who had problems with the law. It is strange how some people continue to commit crimes even after being given a second chance. Perhaps alternative measures are not always effective, and should be reviewed.
