Italian prisoners use Pope visit as chance to escape
Two prisoners who were invited to meet Pope Francis for lunch on his recent
visit to Bologna took advantage of the occasion to escape, local media reports
said Wednesday.
The two men, who were being held in a rehabilitation facility for drug
addicts and prisoners, were reportedly among 20 prisoners who were due to meet
Francis on October 1.
According to AFP, they disappeared either just before or just after the lunch and have not been
seen since, according to reports that local authorities have not confirmed or
denied.
Francis has made mercy one of the themes of his papacy and regularly meets
prisoners on his trips outside the Vatican.
