Verbania, furious husband forces wife to hand over ATM card and tries to break down front door.
The Carabinieri of the Stations of Omegna e Verbania they arrested a 39 year old man from Verbania in flagrante delicto for extortion, damage e abuse in the family.
Yesterday evening, the patrol of the Omegna Carabinieri Station was sent to a hospital in Verbano, where an employee had reported that her husband had shown up at work shortly before threatening her that he would kill her and would have destroyed her car if she had not given him her ATM card. Forced to give in to the threats, the woman then called 112.
When the military arrived, the man had already left on a bicycle. The woman told the Carabinieri that her husband was in a very agitated state and that, most likely, he would have used the ATM to buy some drugs. He also expressed strong concern for the safety of the two minor children who were at home with the babysitter at the time.
When leaving the facility to go to the couple's home to check on the conditions of the children and the babysitter, the soldiers realized that the man had already carried out his threats, completely damaging the bodywork of his wife's car.
The woman was then asked to immediately file a complaint against her husband, while the patrol headed to the couple's home. Before the patrol reached its destination, the woman who was in the barracks in Verbania received a call from the babysitter who, scared, reported to her that her husband was kicking and punching the front door in an attempt to get into the house.
As soon as they arrived at the apartment, the soldiers blocked the man which was still hitting the front door, now almost completely torn off.
The Carabinieri promptly immobilized him and removed him from the house, avoiding further trauma to the couple's two minor children, who, in tears, had witnessed the scene.
The man was taken to the Carabinieri Station in Verbania and declared under arrest for extortion, aggravated damage e abuse in the family. Subsequently, by order of the magistrate on duty, he was transferred to the prison in Verbania.
The measures provided for by the so-called "Code Red", aimed at protecting victims of domestic violence.
