He was arrested during the night on charges of attempted murder Jonathan Maldonatothe husband of the well-known influencer Soukaina El Basri, better known as Siu. The 30-year-old woman is hospitalized in serious conditions at the Maggiore hospital in Novara after being hit in the chest with a sharp object, perhaps an awl.

The facts
The story began last Thursday, when Siu was admitted to intensive care at the Maggiore hospital in Novara. The woman presented a serious chest wound and had suffered internal bleeding. According to Siu’s initial statements to the doctors, the wound was caused by a domestic accident, however the wound does not seem compatible with his account. The influencer then lost consciousness of her, making it impossible to obtain further immediate details from her. Jonathan Maldonato, already aware of being under investigation, went to the Novara hospital where his wife was hospitalized. Here he met Siu’s brotherand a heated confrontation broke out between the two, which required the intervention of the authorities.
The investigations
Maldonato’s arrest came at the end of an investigation conducted by the flying squad of the Biella police headquarters. Investigators believe the man has seriously injured his wife with a sharp object, probably an ice pick, hitting her in the chest and damaging an aorta. A complaint filed by Siu a few months ago against her husband helped shed light on the situation, providing investigators with further elements to suspect Maldonato. Initially, the man had told the 118 health workers that his wife she had injured herself by falling on the corner of a chest of drawersa, but this version did not convince the investigators.

Maldonato was then arrested and transferred to custody: the investigations will continue to further clarify the details of the incident and to precisely determine the responsibilities.
