A war ammunition cartridge, a metal reproduction of a revolver without a red cap, dozens of knives, sabres, firecrackers, truncheons and wooden clubs. This is what the police seized from a 66-year-old man.
The search was triggered after the ex-partner reported months of mistreatment, consisting of threats but also beatings, suffered by the man who was unable to accept the end of the relationship. In some cases, explains the police headquarters, the woman would have been hit with kicks and punches or with objects thrown at her.
After a very rapid assessment of the facts by the team specialized in combating gender violence against the man, explains a note from the police station, “a serious circumstantial framework” emerged which led to him being investigated for stalking, mistreatment and aggravated threats. Once the suspicion arose that the 66-year-old had illegal possession of weapons, a search was also started which led to the seizure of the paraphernalia and the complaint for carrying an improper weapon, possession of war ammunition and illegal possession of a common firearm.
In recent days, the police station’s mobile team notified the man of a provision issued by the investigating magistrate which orders his removal from the family home and a ban on approaching the offended person and the places she frequents.
