They find him passed out in Sassari in a stolen car and what's more he has escaped from house arrest. Then woken up by the police he gives a name that is not his.

12 years after the episode described, today the prosecutor's request for a sentence arrived in the Assize Courtroom for a 54-year-old from Sassari: 4 and a half years for receiving stolen goods, and 1 year and 8 months for both escaping than for having given false generalities.

The man had been found unconscious in the car and inside a private courtyard on the very day he was supposed to attend a court hearing and, for this reason, he had been allowed to leave house arrest. However, without showing up at the Palace of Justice. Then justifying both his absence from the classroom and being in that car because he felt ill as soon as he left home and, according to him, was helped by a person who had ultimately abandoned him in that courtyard.

This version is not credible for the public prosecutor while the defense lawyer Lisa Vaira, in addition to underlining that tax evasion and false personal details are statute-barred crimes in this case, argued that there is no proof that the man from Sassari was driving the stolen car. Judge Silvia Masala postponed the replies and sentence until March.
