The Naples Juvenile Court, acting as a surveillance court, has granted semi-liberty to one of the young men convicted of the murder of security guard Francesco Della Corte, who was brutally attacked on the evening of March 3, 2018, near the Piscinola metro station while on duty.
The inmate, now 24 but a minor at the time of the incident—he was 17—will be allowed to leave prison only to go to work. On holidays, however, he must remain in the penitentiary. The judge also ordered frequent police checks at his workplace.
The murder to steal his gun
The incident stems from one of the most violent attacks in recent years against a private security worker in the city. According to the court rulings, three young men attacked the security guard with the aim of stealing his service weapon.
During the attack, they repeatedly struck the security guard in the head, causing him serious injuries. Rushed to the hospital, the 51-year-old died after ten days of agony from his injuries.
The detention process and checks
The young man, assisted by lawyer Nicola Pomponio, is serving a sentence with an end date of May 2031. The semi-liberty measure represents a step in the treatment process provided for by the juvenile penitentiary system and allows release from prison only for work-related activities.
Precisely to ensure compliance with the imposed provisions, the court has established periodic police checks at the workplace, with the aim of monitoring the correct implementation of the alternative measure to detention.

I read the article and understand the court's decision, but it seems there's still some confusion: the boy was a minor at the time, but he's now working. They're carrying out checks, but it's unclear how they're conducted. Let's hope the re-education process yields results and that everything becomes clear for all involved.
