Carabinieri stopped a 24-year-old under a semi-liberty regime near Piazza dei Ciompi in Florence after he failed to return to prison, arresting him for evasion. A search found 1.10 grams of hashish, seized administratively, and a judge validated the arrest and sent him to Prato prison.
Carabinieri of the Florence mobile radio unit arrested a 24-year-old man,
described as de facto homeless in Italy, in flagrante for evasion.[1]The man
was under an alternative semi-liberty regime and had failed to return to prison
by 10 p.m. the previous evening, making himself untraceable.[1]He was the
subject of an urgent search notice when officers spotted him with other people
near Piazza dei Ciompi.[1]The square is in central Florence, in the
Sant’Ambrogio area, and the stop happened on Sunday afternoon.[1]The stop
took place on the afternoon of Sunday 8 November 2026 during a territorial
control patrol.[2]During the check the young man appeared uncooperative and
disoriented, and he was taken to the barracks for photo-identification
procedures.[3]
A personal search found two packets of hashish weighing 1.10 grams in total on
him.[1]The drug was placed under administrative seizure and the young man was
reported to the prefecture as a drug user.[4]The referral was made as a user
of narcotics under article 75 of Presidential Decree 309/1990.[2]
After a fast-track validation hearing, the Florence judge validated the
Carabinieri’s arrest and ordered the immediate transfer of the accused to La
Dogaia prison in Prato to resume detention.[1]
