The mother of a four-year-old boy
who fell to his death in the same building where six-year-old
Fortuna Loffredo was raped and thrown off a balcony was put in
jail Wednesday after violating her house arrest.
The woman is the girlfriend of 44-year-old Raimondo Caputo,
Fortuna's accused rapist and murderer. She was under house
arrest on charges of failing to report Caputo's sexual abuse of
one of her own daughters.
Her son with Caputo, Antonio Giglio, fell to his death in
April 2013. Loffredo died in June 2014.
Two other residents of the Parco Verde complex at Caivano,
near Naples, are under investigation for allegedly misleading
the probe by giving false statements about the death of Fortuna.
Prosecutors believe other residents may also have taken
steps to throw the investigation off track as they also look
into a suspected pedophile ring and the probe could soon be
extended to new suspects, ANSA sources said earlier this week.
Interior Minister Angelino Alfano said the conspiracy of
silence surrounding the case weighed as heavily as the crime
itself.
Last Sunday Pope Francis spoke out against the "tragedy" of
paedophilia, saying that children must be "defended" and
culprits "severely punished".
Caputo was moved to an isolation cell after prison
officers saved him from an attempted lynching by other inmates
Saturday.
