Urgent investigations into what happened yesterday at the maximum security prison of Badu 'e Carros, where the boss of the Sacra Corona Unita Marco Raduano escaped .
The Department of Prison Administration, through the Directorate General for Prisoners and Treatment, has given a mandate to the Regional Provveditore of Sardinia to carry out investigations and checks "urgently" .
The Ministry of Justice let it be known, specifying that the purpose of the investigations is to " ascertain the causes, circumstances and methods of what happened ".
The competent judicial authority has already provided its clearance for the inspection activity.
Today a first reconstruction of the facts arrived, after the sensational video of the escape through a rope of knotted sheets . Raduano's absence was ascertained around 7 pm, but the escape immortalized by the cameras took place around 5 pm, during the hour of air, therefore the boss of the Gargano had two hours to escape before the hunt began to man , still ongoing, throughout Sardinia.
In the meantime, the trade unions raise the alarm about staff shortages in Sardinian prisons. «The prisoner from Puglia escaped in a daring way from one of the safest penitentiaries in Italy, it seems he had everything ready and that the escape was well planned and planned for some time - observes the general secretary of the FNS Cisl Sardegna Giovanni Villa -. We have been denouncing the lack of personnel for months and this is the main factor that has compromised security in the Nuoro prison ».
Mimmo Nicotra, president of Consipe , draws attention to the urgency of a "reform of the penitentiary police force, numerically inadequate, with poor training, unequipped, without a guide and without police status ".
« Prison administration complicit », thunders the Nuoro provincial secretary of the autonomous trade union organization of the penitentiary police, Giovanni Conteddu : «For years we have denounced the lack of personnel. The last time in November 2022, we informed the Regional Superintendent that in Nuoro in many service posts (garrison, boundary wall, palace hall where the cameras are present) the agent is not present and there is difficulty in developing the services and guarantee minimum levels of safety. If those service posts had been filled yesterday, Raduano would not have escaped .'
«The replies to our letters from the superior offices – he continues – always had the following wording: 'in Nuoro the staff is sufficient to guarantee the services'. Surely now because of our administration the scapegoat will be the poor colleague who was on shift, but we as a union will not allow it . The accomplice of all this is our administration ».
