Last June a 37-year-old man, identified only as a “foreign citizen”, but calling himself Bin Laden, attacked a bar* owner with a chair causing serious injuries. Yesterday, a court found him not guilty by reason of insanity and sentenced him to two years in a special loony bin for those in his legal category. The only problem is there are apparently no special facilities of that type in the region of Umbria. So everything is up in the air. For all we know, the guy is probably back at the bar having coffee. I have no idea. I am incapable of understanding it all.
*In Italy, “bars” are usually coffee bars as opposed to (alcohol) bars as we usually know them in the US.

“Incapable of understanding”- The foreigner who, thinking he was Bin Laden, attacked a bar owner
A 37-year-old foreigner wound up in handcuffs after having attacked an 80-year-old owner of a bar in Perugia with a chair while calling himself Bin Laden. The man was still acquitted as a result of expert (opinion) that he was incapable of understanding and (forming criminal intent).

He wound up in handcuffs in the past months after having beaten a bar owner, aged 80, hitting him several times with a chair and shouting that he was Bin Laden. In the past few hours, following an expert opinion report from a previous proceeding against him, which stated that he was incapable of understanding and criminal intent, he was nevertheless acquitted. The protagonist of this story who arrived in Perugia is a foreign citizen, aged 37, and who at the end of last spring (according to what is reported by the online Perugia Today) attacked the owner/bartender of a bar in the Umbrian capital necessitating him going to the hospital. The attack occurred on the morning of June 5, (and) according to what has been reconstructed, the owner had asked the impatient foreigner to enter and wait until the opening of the commercial enterprise, but the (attacker) apparently did not take it well.
He threw a fit, saying he was Bin Laden. The old man, frightened, at that point, reportedly barricaded himself together with his wife inside the (bar) as a precaution that turned out to be in vain. The 37-year-old, in fact, reportedly broke the glass door of the bar using one of the chairs from the tables outside. And he reportedly used the same chair to hit the 80-year-old dealing him more blows and causing him to fall to the ground. The worst was avoided thanks to the intervention of the owner’s wife, who while waiting for the arrival of the police, reportedly placed herself between the two. The attacked man was transported to the hospital, where he was found to (have sustained) “a proximal meta epiphyseal fracture of the right humerus”, as well as “cortical infractions of the intermediate phalanx of the second finger of the left hand, cranial-facial trauma with fracture of the nasal bones, and a torn and bruised frontal fracture.”
The man wound up in handcuffs and remained in jail until yesterday when a judge revoked the precautionary measure. The reason? His condition was confirmed by a psychiatric report from a previous proceeding for sexual violence (that ended in his acquittal), according to which, the accused is “strongly paranoid” and becomes aggressive when he feels himself in danger. Though being, “socially dangerous, his inability to understand, to (form intent) and to participate in the trial” was recognized.
And it was on this basis that the acquittal came about. The judge also ordered treatment in a Rems (physiatric hospital for those found not guilty by reason of insanity or socially dangerous) for two years even though there seems to be no such facility in Umbria. And at the moment, there seems to be no certainty as to the place where the foreign citizen will be treated nor when.
