A sheet over his head to avoid being recognized , garbage bags in his hand to abandon on the side of the road. This is what was captured by the video surveillance cameras of Monreale, in the Palermo area, where a resident dressed up as a ghost to get rid of some garbage bags , without respecting the recycling shifts.
The offender was identified by the municipal police thanks to the videos that reconstruct not only what was done on the street but also the route home. The "ghost" was thus identified and fined. " We continue to encounter unacceptable acts of incivility - declared the councilor Giulio Mannino - despite our efforts to keep the city clean and educate on the correct management of waste, there are still those who ignore the rules, damaging the environment and our community. The Municipality of Monreale does not intend to lower its guard. The use of cameras and the constant commitment of our municipal police demonstrate our determination to identify and punish those who do not respect the rules".
"Every "smart guy" - he added - must be clear that his uncivil behavior does not go unpunished and that we are able to trace his domicile with precision. We will hunt down these "ghosts" that pollute our city and bring them to light . We appeal to the civic sense of all citizens: the cleanliness of our city is a common good and everyone's collaboration is essential". The mayor of Monreale, Alberto Arcidiacono, also promptly condemned the gesture: "We installed the cameras not to fine but to try to educate the few who persist in not recycling. In Monreale we are at 80%. We really don't understand why there is a need to resort to these expedients, like putting on a sheet to avoid being recognized. What he has achieved is that he will be mocked by many".
