Uno Bianca, Occhipinti leaves the prison after 24 years

BOLOGNA – Marino Occhipinti, from Monday, a free man. The Court of Venice has notified him in prison the provision that allows him immediately to cross the threshold of the prison of Padua never to return. Uno Bianca gang winger will be able to pack his bags and start his new life. This was decided by the President of the Court, Giovanni Maria Pavarin, and Judge Linda Arata, according to which the ex-bandit, attended over the years by the Bologna lawyer, Milena Micele, sincerely repentant, has reviewed his past critically. not socially dangerous. On the contrary, he would have shown with his trip to prison that it could be useful to society. But this decision will certainly not go without a fight. easy and understandable to imagine the effect that will have on the relatives of the victims of the murdered police, still strongly opposed to any form of concession, benefit or permission to the three brothers Savi (Roberto, Fabio and Alberto) and Occhipinti as for minor components Pietro Gugliotta and Luca Vallicelli. The latter, sentenced to minor penalties for not having participated in the murders, has been free for years. But Occhipinti was the first of the main members of the group, that is to say, those who committed bloody acts, to leave the prison. The decision of the Venetian Court, in this sense, is unprecedented. And for the family, that represents, from any angle, a hard blow.

In semi-equilibrium since 2012

Occhipinti, now 53 years old, sentenced to life imprisonment in 1997 for participating, among other things, in the murder of safety officer Carlo Beccari, February 22 (February 19, 1988) aggression on the Casalecchio Coop, leaves the prison after a detention of nearly 24 years. He was arrested at the end of 1994 and since January 2012 he was in a semi-liberty regime. Since then, he has been out of jail every day to work at the Giotto cooperative in Padua in consideration of the path of recovery that he has sincerely undertaken and the genuine critical criticism of his criminal parenthesis, and then wrote President Pavarin. A man of law who has always defended the Occhipinti detainee since 2010, he has awarded him the first prize: six hours to participate in Via Crucis organized in Sarmeola di Rubano da Comunione e liberazione. And still to follow Cl and the Giotto cooperative, last year, Occhipinti had obtained another outrageous permission, that of spending a week in the Val d 'Aosta.

Permit submitted to Parliament

Against this concession, in Bologna, there was a kind of uprising. The case had even been brought to the attention of Parliament by the deputy Andrea De Maria, who had asked the motivations of the Venetian judges. They are always looking back and inside his critical critical path these motivations. Then there are the criminal reports, the first of 2007 and the following updates, summary reports in which it has always been emphasized the central role of work for the USSL call center to Padua and Angelo dell Angelo Hospital, in his detachment of a past of blood and violence. Documentation that lawyer Micele produced at the hearing of 20 June last in which he discussed the opportunity to give the semi-free prisoner the opportunity to make the jump. A jump to a new life, which certainly will not be in Romagna, its original terror, and can not be in Bologna: too many people, still, here, cry for his crimes.
