On 25 January 1991, the Italian Government sent the following information in reply to a letter from the Special Rapporteur dated 2 October 1989 (see E/CN.4/1990/17, para. 75) concerning a number of cases of ill-treatment said to have been inflicted on prisoners in Italy in 1988. 132. As to the cases which reportedly occurred in Milan in May 1988, the Milan Public Prosecutor started an inquiry into the injuries suffered by persons arrested by the judicial police during or immediately after arrest. The inquiry conducted in the case of each prisoner claiming that he was beaten or suffered injury revealed, in most instances, that injuries found in the course of medical examinations were connected with acts of violence or resistance put up by the prisoners themselves when they were arrested. In some cases the medical certificates attached to the prison report pointed to the absence of objective elements to support the statements by persons presumed to have suffered from such violence. The preparatory phase was taken further in the case of acts of violence for which the victim had complained or of cases that were objectively more serious. Further to the preliminary inquiry, committal for trial was requested for a number of policemen and carabinieri for aggravated violence and assault. In one case, a policeman was given a suspended sentence of nine months' imprisonment. The other cases are still pending.
