Bollate Inmate on 2011 Murder Conviction Fails to Return From Leave

Union leaders urge more staffing for external-release oversight during the ongoing search.

Overview

  • Alba Leonor Sevillano Zambrano, 42, did not return to Milan's Bollate prison after an authorized permit under Article 21.
  • She is serving a sentence for the 2011 killing of 81-year-old Franca Monfrini, followed by repeated ATM withdrawals, with sentence end scheduled in 2032.
  • Prison police have launched coordinated searches and say recapturing the escapee is the immediate priority.
  • The detainee had received permits and supervised outings for the past three years, with consistently positive behavioral evaluations.
  • Sappe officials condemned the incident as serious while defending permit programs and called for more penitentiary police and stronger territorial controls, noting some 141,000 people are on external measures nationwide.
