Bolzano Council President Probed Over Domestic Abuse Ordered to Leave Home and Wear Monitor

The measures follow his partner’s complaint under Italy’s fast‑track “red code” for domestic violence.

Overview

  • A judge on October 22 validated removal from the family home, a ban on contact with the partner and children, and electronic monitoring, though the bracelet has not yet been applied due to a device shortage.
  • Carlo Vettori resigned as president of the municipal council and said he would suspend himself from Fratelli d’Italia, remaining a councillor as the mayor calls for his full resignation.
  • The Bolzano prosecutor is investigating alleged aggravated mistreatment, injuries and damage, with the presence of the couple’s minor children cited as an aggravating factor.
  • Police responded after neighbors reported a loud dispute during a separation, the woman was examined in hospital, her lawyer alleges bruises from a push, and the defense denies any physical aggression and seeks to revoke the measures.
  • Reports reference prior complaints, including an episode signaled to law enforcement in 2020, which form part of the context known to investigators.
