MATERA – The State Police has served the notice of conclusion of the preliminary investigations, issued by the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Matera, against a 46-year-old. The man is held responsible for the crime of aggravated stalking, committed against his neighbors.
According to the investigations carried out by the flying squad, the man allegedly harassed the couple of neighbors through repeated conduct. This would have happened despite the fact that in 2022, a warning had already been issued against him by the Police Commissioner of Matera. Furthermore, the man had also been sent to trial for crimes of the same type, also committed against the couple.
On several occasions the suspect addressed insults and threats to the victims, generated by trivial reasons linked to neighborly relations. Among the harassment carried out, he severed the iron wires supporting the fence posts of the neighbors’ house, taking them away with the car. In another circumstance, the man would have placed a large vase at the mouth of the rainwater drainage channel, to prevent it from flowing from the neighbours’ property, thus flooding the latter. Such behaviors would have given rise to a well-founded fear for their own safety in the offended persons, forcing them to alter their lifestyle habits, for fear that even more serious acts would be committed.
