Overview
- The couple, an Italian man of 24 and his 18–19-year-old fiancée, were attacked in a secluded area of Tor Tre Teste after assailants smashed a car window and restrained the man.
- Three Moroccan men have been arrested on charges of gang rape and robbery, with two picked up in Rome days after the attack and a third detained later in northern Italy.
- Police say the arrests were initially kept confidential while evidence was gathered, including fingerprints from the shattered window that match the men in custody.
- Investigators report the victims’ belongings were stolen and believe up to five attackers may have been involved, with the search continuing for additional suspects.
- One report cites a DNA sample that did not match one detainee, who remains in custody, as political reaction grows with Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini calling for chemical castration.
