« The code red is an emergency that must be faced together: also with the involvement of the territory and with networking. This is why it is essential to create a strong collaboration with anti-violence associations ." The new provincial commander of the Carabinieri of Cagliari, Brigadier General Luigi Grasso , took possession of the office on the first floor of the barracks in via Nuoro on Monday and has clear ideas about the action of the force in the territory of southern Sardinia: « It will be in line with what was done by my predecessor, Luca Corbellotti, whom I thank for what he has achieved in recent years. And then we will work in close contact with the Prosecutor's Office and the other institutions."
Grasso arrives for three years as head of the general staff of the Lombardy Legion. Previously he was in the second department of Dia and in the past he held various operational roles. He therefore knows the "work" on the front line well. «I received a great welcome and I am happy to play this role in a wonderful land like Sardinia ». The hot topics are different: in addition to the "red code", attention must be paid to the risk of infiltration by organized crime. « Mafias have no borders. We must be very careful and pick up any signs of possible presences to counteract possible infiltration of organized crime in the Sardinian territory ." Grasso takes the place of Corbellotti, who has become the new commander of the Umbria Carabinieri Legion.
