Andrea Cavallari, a 26-year-old convicted for the Corinaldo nightclub massacre, escaped custody after being granted a temporary permit to leave prison for his university thesis defense in Bologna. Cavallari, who was serving an 11-year sentence for his role in the Lanterna Azzurra tragedy, did not return to the Dozza juvenile prison following the permit granted for his graduation in legal sciences. His disappearance prompted a nationwide manhunt, with authorities also searching for his girlfriend, who was later found and located at work. After nearly two weeks on the run, Cavallari was apprehended in Barcelona, Spain. Reports indicate he used false documents during his escape. The incident drew criticism from victims' families and university officials, with calls for Cavallari to surrender. His arrest marks the end of a high-profile fugitive case linked to one of Italy's most tragic recent events.
