Why It Matters
Nessy Guerra is embroiled in a legal dispute in Egypt over custody of her daughter and a conviction for adultery. Ex-husband Hamouda requests recognition of Egyptian sentences by Italy.
The letter from the ex-husband
“I propose to Nessy Guerra that we remarry immediately and publicly, and live in peace happily ever after,” Hamouda wrote. Then adding: "If, however, Nessy Guerra does not want to reconcile with me, confirming that she prefers to destroy our family, then I demand that she be imprisoned in compliance with the sentences that have already taken place, and I reserve the right to initiate all other complaints for the defamation crimes that I have suffered." The man also wrote: "I demand that my daughter be handed over to my mother immediately." In the letter, Hamouda also asked Guerra to commit "to restoring my public reputation by telling the true version of the facts, namely that I have been acquitted of all charges and have never been violent or mean to her." He requested that the Italian government recognize the acquittal sentences issued in Egypt concerning him, return his passport and compensate him for the damages he claims to have suffered on movable and immovable property.
Guerra: "A very clear blackmail"
"It is not a proposal but a threat, a very clear blackmail", replied Nessy Guerra. For the lawyer Armanetti it is "a rambling request from a person in clear mental difficulty, who on social media claims to be Jesus Christ and who says he has no money in the ATM because it was hacked by the gods".
Guerra, meanwhile, remains hidden at home and cannot leave because she is guarded by the Egyptian police. An executive sentence hangs over her, not yet carried out, of six months in prison for adultery, a crime that has been abolished in Italy for decades and which the 26-year-old however denies having committed. Furthermore, the battle for custody of her daughter is still open in Egypt. Hamouda appealed against a first instance decision which had established the custody of the child to her maternal grandmother. The man's family instead asks that the little girl be entrusted to her paternal grandmother. The next appeal hearing is scheduled for October 7. The appeal to the Supreme Court against the appeal on adultery was instead filed in June.
