A wanted person was arrested by the Albanian Police, in close operational coordination with the State Police, for whom the Rimini GIP had issued a precautionary custody order in prison for aggravated acts of persecution, aggravated fire and serious and aggravated personal injury, for events that occurred in Rimini in the summer of 2023.
The petrol ambush
Following research activities carried out at an international level, the Albanian Police carried out the provisional arrest for the purposes of extradition, in relation to a precautionary custody order in prison issued by the Judge for Preliminary Investigations of Rimini last 25 August, capturing a thirty-year-old Albanian, investigated for the crimes of aggravated persecutory acts, aggravated fire in competition, serious and aggravated personal injury, for multiple conduct perpetrated to the detriment of his compatriot ex-girlfriend and her new partner. All persecutory acts committed in Rimini in the period of June-July 2023.
The investigation, conducted by the Rimini Flying Squad, made it possible to reconstruct the multiple actions of a persecutory nature, insults, defamations, harassment and serious threats carried out by the man, which culminated on 24 July 2023, in a violent attack against the couple, during which the man and the woman were beaten by four disguised men, who, after having savagely beaten them, they had doused them with petrol with the clear aim of setting them on fire, an event that did not occur only thanks to the providential intervention of some neighbors.
The brutal ambush, which came after another serious intimidation against the woman, consisting of setting fire to her car, was the latest in a series of persecutory and threatening episodes of ever greater violence and severity.
The man had also planned to spark a family feud to force his ex-girlfriend to return to their country of origin together.and to “peacefully” close the matter, also purchasing a plane ticket in her name for this purpose.
Despite the speed of the investigative activity, coordinated by the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Rimini, which had made it possible to issue a precautionary measure against him, the man immediately left Albania, where, a few days ago, he was arrested pending extradition.
