On Wednesday evening police arrested Elia Del Grande, the man who escaped from a facility in Castelfranco Emilia, in Modena province, two weeks ago. Del Grande was found in an apartment in Cadrezzate, the municipality in the Varese province where he was from and where, in 1998, he murdered his parents and brother. He spent a total of around 25 years in prison for the murder: in 2015 he tried to escape from Pavia prison, but his plan failed. In the summer of 2023 he was released on probation, and since then he has lived for some time in Sardinia and again in Cadrezzate. In recent months Del Grande has been accused of several acts of vandalism and harassment of the neighborhood, and at the end of September a supervisory court had ruled that he was living in the Castelfranco Emilia “workhouse”, which housed, among other things, people who had to undergo security measures because they were considered socially dangerous.
