Italy: Time is running out. Andreas Krebs must be transferred to Germany immediatly
The transfer procedure to Germany is underway after the last instance sentence against him in Italy became final on May 6, 2022. Andreas Krebs can thus serve the remainder of his sentence in Germany. However, the translation of the necessary documents and the calculation of the sentence equivalence and the length of the sentence will take more months.
However, Andreas K.’s cancer does not give him much time, so it is urgent to speed up the bureaucratic procedures for the transfer considerably.
After the final verdict, he was transferred from the infirmary of the Secondigliano prison to the normal prison, with even worse medical care than before. He is now in solitary confinement in a ventilated pit that is barely the size of a room. The transfer was justified because Andreas Krebs allegedly refused medical treatment in a hospital.
Andreas, for his part, complains that he should have been transferred to a psychiatric ward and demanded his immediate return to prison.

In the night from Monday to Tuesday at 3:30 a.m. I cut my wrist on the left because I am just desperate and of all things when I was lying still and quiet in bed, all covered with blood, the ass [fellow prisoner in the same cell] went into the toilet and must have seen it. I don’t know what happened after that and it must have been a huge fuss. I woke up at some point in the infirmary and they had put in infusions and so on. In this place it doesn’t matter because nobody comes to me and after hours until my condition had stabilized I just came back to my cell. The outer suture burst open and only the artery is holding. Just a little later and I would have finally been history!!!! What a damn bad luck and it is simply not to believe that I have luck in nothing! Say, Can you not ask the community about a possibility of purchase? I don’t have anything anymore so much I’ve been fleeced here and I don’t even have my nerve food, say something to smoke and let alone something to eat! Now I sit there and drink chalky tap water. Either way, I’m sitting in the shit and nothing works anymore! It was so nice how I slowly fell asleep. It hurt at first but because of the blood I lost I didn’t feel the pain anymore. But then to think of nothing more and around you is calm, that was wonderful! The theater afterwards unfortunately not. All worries would be gone and you have your peace. Now I sit there with a handkerchief around my wrist and wait for it and think again and again what to do. In the five years of imprisonment I have never been so in the shit as I am now!Please forgive me from the bottom of my heart!!! Please forgive me for all the grief I’m causing and that I’m still here and there’s no end to it!

[Andreas has now been moved to a solitary cell and has not been able to talk on the phone until the end of this letter. Neither with his wife, nor with his lawyer.] Until my transfer to Germany I am supposed to stay here. Yes single cell with cameras, 23 hours of confinement and the one hour if you want you can be alone without any contact with other prisoners in the yard corridor, which is in front of my plexiglass window. 3 meters in length and 2 meters in width, surrounded by a huge wall. Next to it a big wall, where the officer runs up and down miming machine gun. Clearly, I do not go into the dwarf yard and the importance of this station is 41 to. There are about 20 such cells and each cell has such a courtyard corridor surrounded with high wall, completely visible from about five meters further the main wall with officials running on it with machine gun. Most of the belongings of the respective prisoners are located in front of the cells. Shower is in the cell and even that is monitored and I am at the end and I feel really bad. This is the thanks I get for my years of struggle! I have pain, black blood again, the wrist inflamed, in the molar an infection and in addition the extreme isolation!!!!! I am totally done and I don’t want to and can’t like this! Look where I am now! I hope that this letter will reach you very quickly and I will finish these lines now. I press you very much to my heart and thank you for helping me so much! Insanely dear greetings

Ostensibly a higher official is looking for me and I will say quite clearly that if I am not helped immediately at least with my pain, there is a problem!Again no doctor was with me, it is madness! This is pure intention, because somewhere in this shitty Secondigliano is always 24 hours one or more doctors. The officials I showed all my documents in the presence of an infirmary and they are pissed off because they were told that they do not need to worry about me and I hear them arguing loudly in the office because they were virtually screwed. They saw everything in black and white from me.
07/13 – 07/16/22
I have 24 hour lockdown, don’t know how to take care of myself and have mighty problems otherwise. I look out the window and all I see is my tiny courtyard walkway, then the main wall where the fucking officer runs up and down with his machine gun and the sky, nothing else but concrete/wall, so what I described. And if you make a fuss here, you know what happens, they tie you to the bars so you are immobile and the rest I don’t think I need to describe.In the morning an inspector came and he just threw away all my application slips and said that firstly there are different rules here and secondly if everybody wrote so many applications they wouldn’t get out of work. Then he even threw away the letter to the head of the institution! I was speechless. At the same time I learned that tomorrow DiRubbo (Andreas’ lawyer) will come and I will tell him all this! Then I was brought with three officials into a room, where a infirmary was, which was horrified over the inflammation in the cheek and controlled blood pressure, which is much too low and enlich also my sugar household was controlled which is likewise too low from the values. And there came also already the doctor and they have only half of my medical record. Since this asshole knows me already 1.5 years, the alarm bells went on immediately after all my descriptions and he ordered that I must be driven as fast as possible into the hospital to examinations and there also the officials became pale, because they finally heard themselves, how my condition is. However, the doctor did not write anything great for my pain just at night, because I already take a lot but wrote that I must be taken to the dentist and I told him that he should just give me a pair of pliers, then I pull this myself. He looked at me like I was totally crazy but I was serious.And suddenly the psychologist who has been taking care of me for so long came and I just told her everything. She tried to help me but also said that I should not be here. I also told her that I have no idea, that no one gives me decent information and everyone tells me something different. She quickly comes back to me because she knows this from Monday night before last and also looked at the untreated wound.Today DiRubbo was here and apparently the director wanted to move me here for my protection since I was now testifying against officials. There were death threats from the dead man’s family and officials were ordered to send prisoners from the Camorra after me. There were also three high officials with me and they also made mega stress because of my condition. When I came back to the cell, they immediately gave me a phone for video telephoning and it was nice and I showed Jutta my cell. After DiRubbo’s visit, there were really high-ranking cops who also saw how I was and they immediately called an infirmary whereupon two came, a young woman I knew and the other one I didn’t know. She I made stupidly that I have 24 hours always only pain and I said what she allows herself. Then immediately a very high cop in civilian clothes stood up, said she should leave the room immediately, went with her outside and after two minutes she came back with the one in civilian clothes and literally crawled up my ass! That was suddenly like another person, I should not worry, one will immediately find my medicine because it is out and in the whole asylum does not give, one extra to the pharmacy outside goes and buys and so on.DiRubbo, so I could hear, was with the asylum director and must also have caused some. Because DiRubbo saw me how bad I looked and I told him that I had to throw away application slips and an official does not behave so well and and. On it must have called also the leader here and now they have understood that this is not a game and also in the case of the package must give me everything!A short time later I was then in the office of the psychologist.She said that you can see that I am also psychologically very low and saw my open wound and called the official and said why this open wound is not treated or closed and the official said that he will take care of it and also that I get protein drinks to build up what I have long been prescribed by a special doctor for underweight. I said that I don’t get anything here and she said that she is sorry for what has been done to me for ages like the urgently needed biopsy and she prescribes me a daily additional therapy for depression and something to stimulate the appetite.The then coming official saw the open wound when the psychologist pointed it out to him and this one said that he sees this for the first time and takes care of it. So then I lay in bed totally exhausted, took a short shower and had to be careful because I have no strength and that I do not fall! But an doctor came though, gave me the medicine but no further treatment or examination and also these additional drinks they do not have here and must be procured. The official where before there was as the psychologist visited me already went home and so I had no advocate who knows about the arrangement!It is Saturday evening and nothing, neither doctor nor anything else positive! Don’t know what to say or write right now! I am frustrated and do not know what to do and for that I ask you very much for forgiveness! Have a thousand things in my head and feel completely alone!
21.07.-23.07.22
Just now I got your dear letter and the stamps and I was so happy, for which I thank you from the bottom of my heart! I thought that I am already forgotten and for that I apologize very hard, but the years have gnawed very much on it that one immediately thinks so! You must imagine that here no single doctor appears and since my presence here is so to speak the devil loose since I should not be here with my condition at all! I may talk with nobody, even only quite certain officials may to me and even if I wanted, I may not in the yard corridor, speak 24 hours isolated! Special officials protect me from their own colleagues, isn’t that funny? Oh yes, they wanted to take me to the hospital on Tuesday, but it was cancelled because my tampon test was not good and I supposedly had Covid. Now I pulled out my own tooth and called an doctor, who came an hour later, looked at it and took me to the hospital. After an hour he came, neither looked at the wound whether the hole is closed, just nothing, no disinfection, NOTHING and then I had to argue about my medicine for the evening until he gave it to me!
