Overview

  • Carabinieri detained Daniel Nilsson in Breuil-Cervinia on June 29 after witnesses alerted authorities to a violent dispute with his girlfriend.
  • His partner’s testimony that the assault was part of a pattern of abuse triggered an immediate Codice Rosso intervention.
  • The Procura di Aosta has formally requested pre-trial detention for Nilsson at Brissogne prison.
  • He appeared at a validation hearing Monday morning in Aosta where a judge will rule on whether to confirm his custody.
  • Nilsson, 45, became known as the ‘Bonus’ on Canale 5’s Avanti un Altro in 2012, and his TV career now faces serious uncertainty.
