Italian Court dismisses appeal on evasion charge, citing sufficient prior evidence and witness confirmation.

The Court of Cassazione declared the appeal by Di Dio Alberto inadmissible regarding the charge of escape from home detention. The appellant argued that the conviction relied solely on the uncorroborated statement of Brigadier Barbieri, while the lower court had already renewed the trial to question a witness who confirmed recognizing the appellant outside his residence. The court ruled that the witness's declaration rendered the lack of immediate home verification inconsequential, as the home detention order remained in effect, and thus the appeal's legal grounds were insufficient.
