Carabinieri from the Riesi station executed a pre-trial detention order against a 40-year-old man, issued by the preliminary investigations judge of the Caltanissetta Court at the request of the local prosecutor's office. The investigation began following complaints filed by the suspect's cohabiting mother, who had been the victim of repeated episodes of physical violence, threats, and harassment.
A context of violence and extortion demands
According to the investigation, the man allegedly engaged in systematic abuse and aggression against his mother. The alleged behavior includes threats, verbal abuse, physical assault, and constant demands for money to purchase alcohol and other goods.
