It was too hot and he didn’t have air conditioning. So a man escaped from house arrest. Pietro Luisi, 20 years old, was caught by the carabinieri of Palermo, after destroying three cars and not stopping at a check point. Luisi had been arrested accused of resisting arrest after the carabinieri tried to stop him while he was driving his friend’s car. During the chase, Luisi destroyed three cars and finally crashed into a sign post. Last night he escaped again, but from his house. So the young man was arrested once again accused of breaking out. Luisi was put on trial without going through the normal procedures and the judge conceded house arrest once again.
