Overview

• On the night of August 2–3, the 26-year-old allegedly threatened the woman with a large knife, raped her inside her Canale Monterano home and forced her to withdraw €500 from an ATM.
• The victim’s complaint to Carabinieri units in Manziana triggered a rapid inquiry that used street surveillance footage and forensic traces to pinpoint the Bracciano resident.
• Authorities declared him in stato di fermo for armed robbery and sexual violence and transferred him to Civitavecchia prison over concerns he would flee.
• On August 12, the Tribunal of Civitavecchia confirmed his pretrial custody after prosecutors invoked a founded risk of flight.
• The case has reignited concerns about the effectiveness of house-arrest monitoring and protections for elderly residents living alone.
