Overview

• Carabinieri del Nas executed eight precautionary custody orders against seven socio-health operators and one psychotherapist at the Pinerolo facility.
• Investigators gathered evidence of ongoing physical violence, humiliating verbal attacks and sexual abuse against residents with intellectual and cognitive disabilities.
• All suspects were placed under house arrest after six home searches yielded further proof of maltreatment.
• This operation expands on a probe that began on April 17 and led to the earlier arrest of three facility staff.
• The cooperative managing the facility, which oversees multiple homes in Piedmont and Lombardy, has yet to issue an official response.
