German Erasmus Student Reports Rape in Milan

Prosecutors say investigators are analyzing technical traces to find leads after surveillance footage so far produced no clear images.

Overview

  • The reported attack, which occurred early on October 15, involved a 21-year-old German Erasmus student who says two unknown men assaulted and raped her near the Parco Trotter/Via Crespi area.
  • After the incident she sought help from passersby around 04:50–05:00 and was taken by Carabinieri to the Mangiagalli Clinic’s Anti‑Violence Centre for medical examination and psychological support.
  • Carabinieri investigators and the Milan public prosecutor opened an inquiry and are securing technical traces while reviewing public and private CCTV and mobile‑phone tower data for leads.
  • Authorities say initial checks of surveillance footage have not produced usable images and the identities of the two alleged perpetrators remain unknown.
  • The victim’s account, reported by Italian media, includes a possible prior contact in a NoLo nightclub and a description of the men’s probable origin; those details are unverified and further interviews and forensic work are expected as the probe develops.
