The man under investigation for the devastating fire of 24 July 2021 in Cabras ended up in prison.
The foresters carried out the precautionary custody measure against the author of the arson that occurred in conjunction with the fires that devastated the Montiferru.
It is a sixty-year-old from the place, PCP: the investigations of the Prosecutor of Oristano have made it possible to collect numerous clues to his head.
The fire was ignited in the early afternoon of a day that the regional bulletin had classified as " in danger of extreme fire " due to the very high temperatures and strong sirocco winds. The regional firefighting forces were already engaged in the huge fires of Montiferru and Monte Arci.
The Cabras fire had less media impact, but it was extremely dangerous. It destroyed 20 hectares of land a stone's throw from the town, damaging residential and rural buildings, historic olive groves and vineyards, also causing the death of dozens of animals with "very serious risk to public safety and human life".
A forest patrol rescued a woman who was desperately trying to save cats hit by the flames. A family was evacuated from their home.
The investigating judge shared the thesis of the prosecutor: both on the serious indications of guilt and on the danger of a reiteration of the crime with the approach of the summer season, accepting the request to send the man to his cell.
