As part of the State Police's actions to combat all forms of illegality, Personal Prevention Measures aimed at containing the behavior of people considered socially dangerous and reducing the risk of recidivism that could result in the commission of crimes and cause public alarm are becoming increasingly important.
The attention given to the study and analysis of illegal phenomena occurring in the area allows for a deeper understanding of the dynamics with which they take place and, therefore, greater focus on the individuals believed to be responsible, assessing their conduct and social dangerousness.
In recent days, 4 D.A.C.Ur. measures have been notified to as many individuals.
The measures were issued by the Chief of Police of Catanzaro, as the Public Security Authority, who, having assessed the seriousness of the incidents and the risk of recurrence, based on the investigation carried out by the Prevention Measures Section of the Anti-Crime Police Division, ordered the application, for a period of 3 years, of the ban on access to premises and public establishments located in the immediate vicinity of the places where the crime was committed.
The recipients of the D.A.C.UR. measures are three people, aged 27, 63, and 64, residents of Lamezia Terme, with various criminal and police records. The three men, in the past month of May, in one of the central and busy streets of the city of Lamezia, took part in a brawl, hitting each other and others with kicks, punches, and insults. For these criminally relevant behaviors, they were reported to the Judicial Authority by the Lamezia Terme Carabinieri Company.
The fourth D.A.C.UR. was notified to a 26-year-old from Catanzaro, who has a conviction with a final and irrevocable sentence, and numerous criminal and police records, all related to drugs. Over the years, the young man has been repeatedly reported to the Judicial Authority by both the Carabinieri and the General Prevention and Public Aid Office of the
Catanzaro Police Headquarters. In the most recent incident last May, the 26-year-old was arrested in the act of committing a crime in concert for possession with intent to sell drugs, by the Bellamena Station Carabinieri of Catanzaro, during a territory control service.
The D.A.C.UR. measures are also known as "Daspo Willy," so called in memory of the very young Willy Monteiro Duarte who, intervening in defense of a friend attacked by some people, was killed in a brutal beating in Colleferro (Rome) in September 2020.
