Naples, prosecutor attacked in court with a bag: mother of the accused in trouble

We think of the classroom court as one of the safest and best protected places. Mistake. And this is demonstrated by an incredible episode that occurred the other morning inside the Palace of Justice Business centerwhere a public prosecutor was attacked at the end of his indictment.

The assault

Let’s recap the facts. Thursday morning, classroom sixth section criminal case, the usual crowd and witnesses lined up to be heard by the judge. Around 11 am, the case of a 40-year-old Neapolitan man was examined, accused and detained behind the bars of a gabion, accused of sexual violence. The hearing public prosecutor is Gloria Sanseverinoa long-time magistrate who has also been involved in the district anti-mafia directorate for a long time.

The trial is reaching its final stages and in his indictment the prosecutor asks for the accused to come sentenced to six years. At that point the 40-year-old loses his mind: he begins to rant against Sanseverino and also tries to hit her by throwing her a crutch that he used to help himself walk. Luckily the throw doesn’t hit the mark, but it’s just the beginning of another turmoil. Then she intervenes mother of the accused: from the sector reserved for the public he reaches the deputy prosecutor’s bench, grabs his bag placed on the table and throws it at him. Only the intervention of the lawyers present in the courtroom will be able to avoid the worst. A complaint is filed against the violent woman.

The comment

Solidarity with Sanseverino is expressed by the executive council of the Naples district ofNational Association of Magistrates. «My colleague – we read in a note signed by the president of the ANM of Naples, Ida Teresi – she was the victim of a violent attack just for having carried out her duties as a public prosecutor, explaining her conclusions and formulating her requests.

We also express concern about the lack of constant supervision of the courtrooms by the police forces present in the Palace of Justice, a lack which exposes magistrates and defenders to the possibility of retaliation by the accused, their families and other people present at the court. carrying out the trials”.
