In recent days the Police Commissioner of Vibo Valentia, Rodolfo Ruperti, issued two warnings in the context of incidents of domestic violence.
Violence in the marital sphere: a spiral that lasted 5 years
In the first case the abuses took place within a couple who had been married for over 40 years, but about 5 years ago something had stopped and the violence had begun. However, following yet another attack, the woman found the courage to report all the physical and verbal violence she received within the home, reporting episodes in which she was punched in the face, others in which she was first locked in a room and then threatened with death. Episodes never reported before.
Filial aggression and intervention by the Carabinieri
In the second case it concerns a father who attacked his adult daughter for trivial reasons using a broom pole with which he hit her in the back. Following the attack, the woman suffered injuries for which she had to seek medical treatment.
The application of the Code Red and the warning
For both episodes, in addition to the reporting to the Judicial Authority by the Carabinieri who intervened, the Police Commissioner, following an investigation by the Anti-Crime Division, issued to the perpetrators of the violence the warning provision required by the legislation to protect the victims of the so-called. code red.
Legal consequences and recovery paths
The warning tells the subject to change his behavior, warning him that there are elements against him that could make him consider him dangerous. Following the warning, any further crimes of the so-called. “code red” will still be prosecuted automatically and the punishment will be increased.
The abusers were advised of the right to undertake a course at a center for perpetrators of violence with which the Police Headquarters has activated specific protocols.
