Delmastro: “I don’t regret the Cospito case. Even if I had an ischemia…”

Alfred Cospito? “I reiterate that he is a criminal. He must remain in hard prison. On the merits I do not regret anything”. From the Turin Book Fair, the Undersecretary of Justice Andrea Delmastro returns to the Cospito case which has inflamed the political debate in recent months. “In the method, I don’t think I’m revealing another official secret in telling you that I’m under criminal proceedings. Respecting everything that follows, I don’t intend to open my mouth about the rest – he says during a meeting organized by the newspaper The doubt – This affair also had repercussions on my health, given that – Delmastro now reveals – I was struck by an ischemia a month ago”.

The undersecretary of FdI refers to the Cospito-Donzelli-Delmastro case which broke out last February when the deputy of the Brothers of Italy Giovanni Donzelli, speaking in the Chamber, had defined the anarchist “influencer of the 41 bis” accusing the left of “staying with the terrorists” referring to the visit to prison on January 12 by four dem deputies in Cospito.

Delmastro also returns to this aspect “I do not apologize to the Democratic Party”, he reiterates, warning on the subject of overcrowding in prisons that “it cannot be an alibi for decriminalization”. With regard to drug-addicted prisoners, the undersecretary of the Brothers of Italy hopes for a “high-intensity medical detoxification treatment”. “I am portrayed as the black soul of treatment in Italy. The penalty must have a social-punitive and preventive function”, he continues.
