Ten warders were arrested Monday on
suspicion of beating two inmates at Foggia Prison recently.
The prison police officers on duty at the Foggia prison have
been placed under house arrest on charges of torture, abuse of
office, abuse of authority against arrested or detained persons,
omission of official acts, damage, concussion, ideological
falsity committed by a public official in public acts,
suppression, destruction and concealment of true acts, judicial
sources said.
The suspects are alleged to have participated in various ways in
a violent beating, carried out on 11 August 2023 in the prison
of Foggia, against two inmates.
During the investigation, it was alleged that false documents
were prepared and signed in order to conceal the violence
carried out and to prevent the diagnosis of the injuries
sustained by the inmates. Threats and promises of retaliation
through which two suspects allegedly forced the victims to sign
false declarations in which they gave a version of the facts
that was contradicted by the results of the investigation were
also ascertained.
