He threatens and attacks his ex-partner with a knife: precautionary measure and ban on approaching the woman.

Cremona. The Crema police station has implemented the precautionary measure of Prohibition on approaching the offended person and the places frequented by the latter, in relation to a South American citizen residing in the Crema area, responsible for the crime provided for by the art. 612 bis (persecutory acts) against theformer partner who is also Latin American. The provision was issued at the end of a complex and targeted investigative activity carried out by the police station following the complaint presented by the man who reported to these offices that he had been subjected to violence for some years by the ex-partner often prey to excesses of anger due to jealousy.

Illegal conduct consisting of physical violence, sometimes with the use of a knife, serious threats and insults, often in the presence of his minor children, were generated in the man a state of serious and well-founded fear for one's safety forcing him to move away from the family home and change his lifestyle habits.
The escalation took place one evening in October in which the suspect after an argument with her partner, who had gone to the woman's house to visit her children, attacked the man armed with a kitchen knife.

The investigations carried out by this Office made it possible to acquire elements proving the responsibilities of the suspect in the events in question; the planned procedure called “CODE RED” which allowed the Judicial Authority to issue the precautionary measure in a short time of the Prohibition of Approaching the offended person and the places frequented by the latter. Given the growing number of behaviors carried out by women, increasingly serious and dangerous, it is believed that the restrictive measure prevented further criminal acts to the detriment of the victim.
Cases of violence committed by women against men are not uncommon and most of the time they are not physical or sexual but psychological; very often these attacks are not reported for fear of being laughed at or not believed especially because of the persistence of the stereotype of the virile and dominant male.
