Falcinelli case, the reconstruction of torture and everything that still doesn’t add up
Matteo Falcinellithe 25-year-old boy from Spoleto arrested on the night between 24 and 25 February last in Miami, was not only tortured by the US police, as the images of the camerasbut according to the reconstructions made and the statements of the boy himself – reported by Qn – it would have been the same mocked by the officers in prison. And even when friends contact his mother and pay the $4,000 to free him, he is not told until almost a day later. In the meantime – writes Il Corriere della Sera – he is assigned to a cell the place above a bunk bedwhere though he struggles to climb due to injuries to his hands and feet. He is not examined by a doctor. He is tired and hurt, he asks for a blanket and a pillow which are denied to him, mocking him: “Stay here, don’t go away”. It’s still: “You will rot in prison, you have no rights here“, waving his identity card in front of him.
Indeed there is an entire chapter of harassment comparable to torture that the boy described and on which his mother Vlasta Studenicova and the US and Italian lawyers are arguing collecting material to include in a complaint. A job – continues Il Corriere – very delicate because based on the hypotheses formulated you have to turn to one person specific judicial office and therefore the shot must be calibrated well so as not to waste all the work done. Details also emerge relating to the days following the liberation. Once free, he vomits and collapses, goes to a psychiatric clinic because he is at risk of suicide, then, after another five days, he returns to his accommodation where he is with his mother and brother. Mommy describes it now”moved by all the support he is receiving“.
