He may have the required permissions Renato Vallanzasca, former boss of the Comasina gang. The Supervisory Court of Milan decided this 24 hours after the hearing. A decision that comes in consideration of his state of health. For judges, attending a therapeutic community during the day is useful, so that one’s conditions do not worsen, because it favors one interaction with other people and social relationships. The judges’ decision, therefore, is in line with the defense’s complaint, with the lawyers Limentani and Muzzi, who had pointed out how being able to go to the community alleviated his cognitive decline. With the granting of this single permit, obviously the way is also opened for the green light for other permits to go to the community, so much so that in the past Vallanzasca went there at least once a week.
According to the magistrates, the “spaces of freedom linked to the use of premium permits” can “alleviate neurological pathology” of Vallanzasca, who spent a “very long period” in prison and “needs” to “structure” a “resocialization process which to date seems to have been undertaken seriously”. Vallanzasca was granted a “twelve-hour bonus leave” to spend in a therapeutic community, accompanied by his support administrator, an entrepreneur and volunteer, who was a friend of his. The judges recognize that Vallanzasca is ill and that he has, due to the pathology from which he suffers, problems of the “behavioral, with confusion and agitation“. According to the judges, the conditions which, in May last year, led to the restoration of the permits have not changed, which have always taken place “without problems”.
Yesterday the former leader of the Comasina gang, detained for over 50 years, was present at the hearing before the Surveillance judges (Di Rosa and Caffarina). In March his reward permits – already blocked in the past and then granted again – to attend a therapeutic community were revoked. In the revocation order, the judge had pointed out that his physical and mental conditions were such that that community could no longer guarantee himnecessary assistance, but for his defenders, however, that place is useful for alleviating his cognitive decline. The defense therefore lodged a complaint. The deputy prosecutor Rossana Penna yesterday in the closed hearing had asked the Surveillance to reject the complaint, instructing the defense if anything to present a new request for permits.
