Now, the offender and his accomplice, Francesco Geraci, have been reported on the loose. The investigation of the Agrigento prosecutor’s office proceeds for the crime of damaging an asset with landscape value. The Carabinieri of Realmonte and colleagues from the Agrigento Company acquired the images of the video surveillance system in the area, the investigations immediately focused on a van, whose license plate number led to the two suspects. At the home of one of them, there were gloves soiled with iron oxide, the substance used for the raid. Iron oxide was also found in the van.

Forty had been sentenced to 16 years for bombs in the Temple of Concord in Agrigento and in the Milan subway, between 2001 and 2002. He had also tried to blow up the Agrigento prison by placing a gas cylinder. According to investigators, Quaranta had become a religious fanatic after converting to Islam. In February, the Agrigento prosecutor had asked to apply a preventive measure, but in July the court had rejected, writing: “While revealing a personal profile disrespectful of the rules of civil coexistence and inclined to react to the damage of the police, these are certainly execrable attitudes and which, where they constitute a criminal offense, will find an adequate response in the criminal sanction, but which, from the description provided in the proposal and in the attachments, do not appear to have resulted in an injury to the assets of public safety and tranquility “.

But what’s behind the latest vandal raid? “An attitude of generic and vague protest against the system and the police is assumed – says Patronaggio in a press release – as can be seen on the suspect’s social media pages”.
