This is what the police discovered in Aci Sant’Antonio

ACI SANT’ANTONIO – Researchers have called it the retirement home of horrors. From the survey that involved the attendance and care of the guests of the “Villa San Camillo” in Aci Sant’Antonio, exciting stories emerge.

The exciting photos

Naked elderly people left on the ground with their excrement, others trapped between the bars of the bed, untreated and aggravated wounds, are just some of the scenes that the carabinieri have seen. The most disturbing thing about the investigation is that these images were extrapolated from the cell phone, seized in July 2019, of Giovanna Giuseppina Coco, an employee of the facility.

The military found on his mobile phone the photographs, taken inside the retirement home in the period between March and June 2019, which immortalize the abuse of defenseless grandparents.

The names of the suspects

An investigation coordinated by the Prosecutor of Catania that triggered the measure of the temporary prohibition of business activity, for a period of 12 months, against the director Giovanni Pietro Marchese, 60, and the measure of the temporary prohibition to practice in residences of the elderly and care centers for the elderly, for a period of 9 months, for the three employees, Giovanna Giuseppina Coco, 37, Rosaria Marianna Vasta and Alessandra Di Mauro, both 41 years old.

The carabinieri complied with the measures of the investigating judge.

Interceptions

To the photographic documentation on the research hawk there are also interceptions that make the skin crawl.

Disgusting, dirty, there is no one more disgusting than you, don’t break my ………. “So one of the suspects would have addressed one of the older guests. “Csuck in person, that sucks, zero education, now I leave her on the chair all dirty with pee, like pigs “, This is the insult that a 100-year-old grandfather would have suffered who would later be forced to lie down alone as punishment.

And then the humiliations: “He is an ignorant, rude, porter and lousy“The suspects threatened an old woman with binding her, leaving her full of feces and not washing her. The poor woman’s cry filled the ears of those who were delegated to listen to the wiretaps.

The investigation of the house of horrors

The investigations that began after the seizure of the cell phones documented the total inaction of the administrator who would not have supervised the staff. The omission would have allowed the alleged employees to mistreat the elderly, who, in addition to being threatened, insulted and humiliated, had not even been treated and assisted adequately.

In fact, the military verified that even basic sanitation conditions would not be guaranteed. At the retirement home, the carabinieri saw mice and some older people reportedly contracted scabies.

During an inspection, the soldiers from Aci Sant’Antonio with colleagues from the Labor Inspection Unit found a guest literally trapped in his bed with chairs and a sofa that acted as a barrier. In addition, some of the operators, who turned out to be recipients of income from citizenship, turned out to be working illegally.

In fact, the military have reported them loose.
