Activities of the State Police
As part of the constant preventive activity carried out by the State Police to combat the phenomenon of violent behavior, the Police Commissioner of Viterbo, following a detailed investigation carried out by the Anti-Crime Police Division, adopted the provision of a Warning against a forty-six year old from Viterbo .
The investigations revealed that the man, in recent years, had frequently carried out abusive and oppressive attitudes towards his partner, following which she was forced to end the romantic relationship. But even after the relationship ended, the man continued his violent conduct. In particular, in one of the episodes, the woman was forced to request the intervention of the Flying Squad and 118 after suffering a violent attack for trivial reasons in the presence of the couple’s youngest daughter. On this occasion the man, to prevent the ex from calling for help, had tried to take away her mobile phone but failed in his attempt since the woman, with her daughter in her arms, in her excitement managed to reach the gate of the house where she was a State Police crew has just arrived.
In light of the above, considering the urgency aimed at immediately stopping the violent behavior, the men of the State Police of the Anti-Crime Division subjected the man to the prevention measure of the Warning.
By virtue of the recent changes made to current legislation, if the warned person repeats the conduct it will be possible to proceed even ex officio with a complaint to the judicial authority, even if the offended person is different from the one for whose protection it was the measure was adopted.
The interested party will not be able to request the revocation of the Warning before three years have passed from its issue without further relapses and having demonstrated that they have taken part in specific rehabilitation courses held by associations with which the Police Headquarters has stipulated an operational protocol called “Zeus ”, which includes reflection paths on harassing conduct, such as anger control and management.
