The precautionary measure

On the afternoon of lunedì 28 settembre, the Carabinieri of the Luino Station carried out an order for pre-trial detention in prison against a 46-year-old man residing in the area. The order had been issued by the GIP of the Court of Varese.

The man was already under house arrest. The measure was triggered following the complaint filed by his partner, who told investigators what allegedly happened during the period they lived together. In the proceedings, the 46-year-old is considered responsible for sexual violence and domestic abuse against the woman.

The complaint led to the investigations that preceded the new measure. During the investigation, investigators reconstructed the facts reported by his partner and linked the proceedings to the conduct attributed to the man within the family.

The circumstances concern the period they lived together, during which the woman allegedly suffered ongoing abuse, physical assaults, and degrading conduct. The episodes were described by investigators in the investigative work that led to the pre-trial detention.

The transition from house arrest to prison is the central fact of the operation carried out in Luino. The man, already under house arrest, was served with the order issued by the GIP of the Court of Varese.

The Carabinieri of the Luino Station carried out the order on the afternoon of lunedì 28 settembre. The case remains linked to the complaint filed by the partner and the reconstruction carried out during the investigations. In the proceedings, the 46-year-old is considered responsible for the conduct described as having been directed against the woman.

Operational details

The Reconstructed Incidents

Threats, Assaults and Sexual Violence

According to the reconstruction made during the investigation, his partner allegedly suffered continuous abuse, physical assaults and demeaning behavior for several years during their cohabitation. The picture described by investigators therefore includes behavior repeated over time, relating to the couple's family life.

On several occasions, the man allegedly threatened the woman by holding a knife to her throat and directing serious insults at her. Some of these situations allegedly also occurred in the presence of the couple's two minor children. The presence of the children is indicated in the reconstruction of the incidents relating to their cohabitation.

The most serious incidents concern the last two years. On two separate occasions, the 46-year-old allegedly forced his partner to endure non-consensual sexual intercourse. The allegation concerns events occurring in the most recent phase of the cohabitation period, while the other abuse is described as having continued for several years.

The escalation of violence allegedly recently also involved the victim's sister, the man's sister-in-law. The argument, which arose over trivial reasons, allegedly degenerated into an assault: the woman was struck in the face and pushed against a wall. She subsequently suffered injuries deemed curable in ten days.

The reconstruction thus brings together incidents against the partner and an assault involving one of her family members. For the cohabiting woman, the proceedings began with her complaint; for the sister, investigators identified a recent incident involving injuries deemed curable in ten days. These are the elements described in the investigative framework.
