Accused prefers prison to house arrest with his mother-in-law

The website of the newspaper “Libero” reported that a resident of the Italian city of Asti deliberately violated house arrest so as not to stay at home with his mother-in-law.

According to the newspaper, the man turned to the police to request his transfer to the (detention) system, but the authorities refused.
The Italian found a way to leave the house, citing routine police checks, whose officers visited his place of residence and did not find him at home. A day later, the 52-year-old came to the police station, expecting that for violating the rules of house arrest, he would be taken to a cell. However, the officer did not arrest him, after which the Italian decided to achieve his goal in another way: to attack the police with his hand and beat them.

Because of his attack on the police, the man ended up behind bars. At the court hearing, the next day, the Italian man apologized to the police, explained that he had drunk wine the day before and had no recollection of anything.

In the end, the detainee was forced to move to the house of his mother-in-law and his wife.
