Pietro Genovese under house arrest, the carabinieri go home for a check and do not find him: on trial for evasion

The lawyer: «There is no proof of evasion»

The event dates back to January 16, 2022. That day, the carabinieri of the Parioli company, according to the prosecution, went under Genovese's family home, in the Trieste neighborhood, to carry out a routine check. They rang several times without getting an answer. The military, despite having the defendant's mobile phone, did not try to contact him, from the surveillance cameras of the building it does not appear that Genovese had left the house. And the lack of response to the intercom triggered the evasion charge. «There is no image from the closed-circuit cameras where Genovese - stated in court in his defense, the lawyer Gianluca Tognozzi - is seen leaving the house. There is no proof of evasion».
