"Inability of the subject to adapt to the rules". This is how the judges of the Surveillance Court of Rome outline the conduct of the former minister and former mayor of the Capital, Gianni Alemanno, in the act with which they confirmed his detention in the prison of Rebibbia and established that there he will have to serve the sentence , which has become final, of one year and 10 months for the accusation of illicit influence peddling that came from one of the strands of the investigation into the Middle World.
Alemanno was sent to prison on December 31st because he was accused of a "very serious and repeated violation of the requirements imposed" in the assignment of social services in the 'Solidarietà e Speranza' facility. Among the requirements not respected by the former minister there is also that of having met a criminal, of having presented false documentation in justifying travel outside Lazio and of not having respected the schedules.
The decision of the Surveillance judges does not recognize the convicted person for the four months spent in social services, between November 2023 and February 2024, before the protests of the public prosecutors of Piazzale Clodio were triggered. For the magistrates, "the facts constitute a manifestation of failure to accept the re-educational offer and denote the subject's inability to adapt to the rules of the order repeatedly violated with obstinacy, demonstrating ineptitude for self-determination in a positive sense."
The judges speak of a "substantial failure of the benefit" of social services to the former mayor "which must be revoked with ex tunc effect , having to consider the entire evidence invalidated in light of all the elements acquired, indicative of a total and absolute departure from the purposes of the institution of probation to social services ". The provision also states that "from the brief statement made at the hearing by Alemanno" (in which he admitted to having made a mistake "for love of politics"), there is "an admission of what happened", of the conduct for which the alternative measure was suspended.
The reasons offered by the former mayor, according to the judges, "cannot justify such a structured, widespread, obstinate illicit activity". The court defines what was done by Alemanno as "irresponsible", who, according to them, "made fun of the offices that oversee the alternative measure to intramural detention". The former parliamentarian's lawyers are now considering challenging the decision before the Supreme Court. "It is surprising, as is an arrest on New Year's Eve, that not even the opinion of the Attorney General that saved the first period of probation was considered", comments the lawyer Cesare Placanica.
