Saturday's episode

During the weekend in Varese, the Carabinieri of the Operational unit and mobile unit intervened in two distinct episodes attributable to abuse against family members or cohabitants. The outcome of the interventions is two arrests in the act of committing a crime, both within the framework of the Red Code. The two episodes required the immediate intervention of the troops.

In the city centre, on Saturday afternoon, the 52‑year‑old, already known to law‑enforcement, reached the former wife’s workplace. There he began to shout at her and hurl heavy insults, while the five minor children of the couple were present on site, all aged between 5 and 8 years.

The episode took place at the former wife’s workplace, in the city centre, in front of the five minor children of the couple, all aged between 5 and 8 years. The timely intervention of the Carabinieri led to the man’s detention and arrest in the act, within the Red Code.

The second episode, separate from the first, occurred on Sunday morning and involved a 36‑year‑old man. This intervention was also carried out by the Carabinieri of the Operational unit and mobile unit of Varese. The distinction between the two moments of the weekend is clear: Saturday afternoon in the city centre, Sunday morning at the elderly parents’ home. The details of the raid and the man’s conduct constitute the continuation of the reconstruction.

Operational details

The break-in at the parents' home

Sunday morning was marked by the second intervention by the Carabinieri from Varese's Operational and Radio-Mobile Unit. At the center of the incident was a 36-year-old unemployed, homeless man who had forced his way into his elderly parents' home. The front door was damaged during the break-in.

The account of the incident describes the man as being in an evidently altered mental and physical state. Once inside the house, he allegedly behaved aggressively and refused to leave the home. Faced with this situation, the officers detained him. This incident, too, resulted in an arrest in flagrante delicto for abuse against family members or cohabitants.

The incident follows a precise sequence: forced entry, damage to the door, remaining in the home and refusing to leave, culminating in his detention by the Carabinieri. The behavior displayed once he entered the house is reported using the conditional mood, while the altered mental and physical state and the subsequent detention form part of the reconstruction of the intervention.

As with the other incident, the emergency procedure provided for under the Red Code was already in place. In the text, this procedure is linked to the protection of victims of domestic and gender-based violence and governs interventions in the cases indicated. Although the two arrests took place at different times and in different homes, they fall within the same operational framework for responding to family-related offenses.

Key points

From confirmation to measures

Once the required formalities had been completed, the two arrested individuals were taken to the Varese detention facility. The arrests were then confirmed and resulted in different measures: one was ordered to remain in prison, while the other was prohibited from approaching the injured party, with an electronic monitoring bracelet applied.

Following confirmation, therefore, what happened next was different: imprisonment on one hand and a restraining order accompanied by an electronic monitoring bracelet on the other. The bracelet was applied together with the restraining order, as reported in the account of the interventions. The transfer to the Varese detention facility, on the other hand, had taken place for both after the customary formalities.

In both cases, the Carabinieri of the Varese Operational and Radiomobile Unit intervened when the urgent procedure under the Red Code had already been activated. It is intended to regulate interventions to protect victims of domestic and gender-based violence.

The final crime report included two arrests carried out over the weekend, the subsequent transfer to the detention facility, and two different decisions following confirmation. What happened falls within the Carabinieri’s daily commitment to preventing and combating crimes in the family sphere. Following confirmation, the measures provided for imprisonment for one of the two and a restraining order with an electronic monitoring bracelet for the other.
