Oltre i Giovi: Londra, il Guardian si occupa del caso di Staglieno

Secondo il Guardian di ieri ci sarebbero foto e riprese fatte col telefonino, dettaglio che non ci sembra d’aver letto sulla stampa italiana:

Staff at a historic cemetery in Genoa are being investigated for allegedly stripping gold fillings, jewels and artificial limbs from corpses for resale. Seven employees at the wooded Staglieno cemetery, built in 1851, are suspected of having secretly amassed their booty in a workroom where buyers purchased materials by the pound. [...]

The resting place of Giuseppe Mazzini, who helped found the Italian state, Staglieno was described by Ernest Hemingway as “one of the wonders of the world” after he visited. The staff are said to have carried out some thefts during the shifting of skeletons from graves to ossuaries 20 years after burial. Police were reportedly tipped off by a co-worker who supplied photographs and mobile phone footage of the fillings and fake limbs, telling officers the grave thefts had been taking place for years.
