In any event, counting coasts as borders is not something Italians would usually do. I’d think it’s much easier to escape a country undetected (at least in the Schengen area) from a land border than from the coast. I’d say that P(x is trying to flee Italy|x is in Venzone) >> P(x is trying to flee Italy|x is in Rome), or Naples, or Milan, or indeed most (by population) of Italy.
I’m curious, would it even matter if he had escaped to Austria? I was under the impression that the EU had fairly tightly integrated law enforcement & extradition within the Schengen area precisely because it’s so easy to move around, and that being in Austria would be a very minimal obstacle for the Italian police.
I was just nit-picking, sorry.

Good point.
