Ragusa disability center investigation leads to seven arrests for maltreatment
Seven individuals, including a third-sector association president and volunteers, are facing precautionary measures following an investigation into alleged maltreatment at a daycare center for people with psychiatric disabilities and autism in the Ragusa region.
Carabinieri del Nas conducted the investigation, which uncovered physical violence such as slaps, punches, pushes, and kicks directed at guests. Investigators also found that pharmacological therapies were being administered by individuals lacking the necessary professional qualifications. Additionally, hygiene issues were reported, including the discovery of rodents in bags of sweets intended for the guests.
As a result of the findings, two suspects are under house arrest, while five others have been banned from working with vulnerable populations for one year. The investigation utilized security camera footage to document the abuse and reconstruct the treatment of the guests.
