Overview
- Carabinieri arrested Del Grande in Varano Borghi in Varese province while he drove a stolen Fiat 500.
- During the stop he tried to flee, an officer was slightly hurt, and he was booked on resisting and injury charges before transfer to Varese prison.
- He had disappeared on Sunday after failing to return from an Easter permit granted by the Alba work‑release home.
- Investigators concentrated searches on Cadrezzate and the Varese area because he owns property there and knows the woods and lakes, and he was found nearby.
- In late 2025 he escaped a similar facility and was caught 13 days later after hiding near Lake Monate, which helped shape the current risk assessment and the judge’s pending review of his danger to the public.
