(ANSA) - ROME, APRIL 11 - "The regulatory framework" of the rules on life imprisonment "has changed significantly" as the reform of the executive of Giorgia Meloni of October 31, 2022 - after the requests of the Consulta to the previous governments - made the lack of collaboration with the judiciary "a foreclosure only relative and provided for access to penitentiary benefits and alternative measures" also "for non-cooperating detainees, obviously convicted of unlawful crimes, albeit in the presence of 'stringent and concomitant conditions'".
This was underlined by the Cassation in the reasons, filed today, and relating to the verdict that on 8 March 'promoted' the reform.
The case was referred to the attention of the Surveillance Court of L'
Aquila who had denied the benefits as the old rules precluded them in favor of those who, like Salvatore Pezzino protagonist of this judicial case, had not collaborated with justice and were imprisoned for impeding crimes.
The man has been in jail for over 30 years.
As for his criminal history, Pezzino, born in 1962 in Partinico (Palermo), is expiating his life sentence, under a provision of cumulation of three convictions issued by the Palermo judiciary.
He is currently imprisoned in the Sardinian prison of Tempio Pausania.
