Bologna, mistreatment of his wife: expulsion from home and electronic bracelet for a 51-year-old

BOLOGNA – The 51-year-old man of Moroccan origin who lives in Valsamoggia and who is under investigation for mistreatment of his wife will have to stay away from the family home and wear an electronic bracelet. The woman, investigations by the Crespellano police found, was harassed, controlled and deprived even of the possibility of learning the Italian language to prevent her from integrating and making friends.

The provision arises from investigations coordinated by the Prosecutor's Office, after an intervention by the Carabinieri dating back to 25 June. On that occasion, the Operations Center had been alerted to a violent argument taking place inside the couple's home. The soldiers had found the woman in a strong state of agitation: the victim had reported that she had been attacked again by her husband at the height of yet another argument, which in that case arose from the management of family expenses.

Once reassured by the police, the woman found the strength to talk about the climate of constant intimidation experienced within the walls of her home, and social isolation imposed by the man.
