Obese Convicted Killer Released from Prison Because He Can’t Diet Behind Bars
Oddity Central ^ | 11/15/2023 | Spooky

An Italian man who was serving 30 years in prison for murdering his girlfriend was recently released from prison because judges ruled that prison food didn’t allow him to go on a diet behind bars.

In 2017, Dimitri Fricano was arrested for killing his girlfriend, Erika, during a heated argument, while they were vacationing in Sardinia. He originally told police that robbers had attacked and killed his partner, but as investigators found more and more holes in his story, he eventually admitted that he had been the one to stab her 57 times. Apparently, she had scolded him for leaving too many crumbs on the bed when eating, and he became so angry that he couldn’t control himself. Two years later, he was put on trial for murder, but he only got convicted to 30 years behind bars in 2022, due to pandemic-related delays, before being released this month for being dangerously obese and not being able to lose weight.

At the time of his conviction, Dimitri Fricano weighed 120 kgs (260 lbs), but over the next 12 months, he ballooned to 200 kgs (440 lbs), a weight that doctors say puts him at high risk of cardiovascular disease. He reportedly cannot even get around the prison building without crutches or a wheelchair, and a court has ruled that his condition is ‘incompatible with the prison regime’, because prison makes it impossible for him to follow a low-calorie diet.

“He needs assistance that cannot be provided in the institution,” a panel of judges ruled, adding that he cannot remain incarcerated because his obesity and chain-smoking habit put him at an imminent risk of dying.

mitri Fricano will now serve the rest of his time under house arrest in a town near Biella, a verdict that has infuriated his victim’s family. Although the law states that, should Fricano’s condition improve, he will return to prison, Erika’s parents believe that it is unlikely to happen.

“The house arrest for Dimitri? It’s a shameful decision,” Erika’s father told the Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera. “When some friends let me know, after reading it online, that Dimitri had been placed under house arrest, a wound reopened. It was like receiving a stab to the heart. His is a rare case. To think that not even the mafiosi [Mafia] receive this treatment.”

Have him start a prison garden, and he can eat the vegetables he grows. The exercise, plus the vegetables will help this guy lose the weight. Plus, he can do it, behind bars.

I imagine we’ll be seeing Fricano’s mug on all the cooking shows in this country. “Americans” formerly known as illegal alien, asylum-seeking “refugees love that weird sh*t on TV in this country.

“Prison makes it impossible for him to follow a low-calorie diet.”

The judges can’t figure out that he could cut his calories in half by eating half as much? And how about taking away his cigarettes? Are these American leftist expat judges or are Italian judges as bad as our own?

Apparently, she had scolded him for leaving too many crumbs on the bed when eating...

And so he stabbed her 57 times. And now he's out on the street. So if you see a fat guy with crumbs on his tie, don't tell him.

Given that level of obesity I don’t think we’ll have to weight long.

It’s more like the commissary that keeps him fat.
Prisoners get between 2400 and 2800 calories/day.

Indeed, one would think prison could be an easy place to enforce dietary discipline.

This Dimitri character is among many being released from various prisons for the purpose of a false flag event in the near future.

The term “false flag” is not exactly accurate, because they’re simply going to use the military aged men coming across the border and psychopaths like Dimitri to start riots and hurt people on command.

One of the illegal aliens arrested in Nevado spilled the beans that he was simply waiting to recieve a message from, as he put it, “the U.N.” He was told the UN wants him to cause riots and hurt people. Meanwhile, the cabal has given these people debit cards and places to stay. They are all over the country.

Confession, EinNYC...I just grabbed a random picture from google image search for a fat guy in jail, to put in my post there.   (I can't imagine the real obese guy in that story being much better looking though.)
