'Father-master' husband erases wife's identity for 20 years: sentenced to 4 years for mistreatment. She is from Caserta but lives in Puglia.
A nightmare of physical and moral violence that lasted twenty years was experienced by a 56-year-old woman from Caserta, who moved for love in the late 90s to Puglia, in a town near Trani (province of Barletta-Andria-Trani), who managed to have her husband sentenced to four years in prison for the crime of mistreatment in the family.
An exemplary sentence that the judge inflicted without even a medical report attesting to the violence that had occurred, but based only on the story full of details told by the woman and her daughters (all three defended by Martina Piscitelli); the girls, now in their twenties, were also victims of their father's violence. The sentence was issued by the Trani court, and closes a tragic story, different from the others, because here there is a "father-master" husband who did not limit himself to beating and attacking his wife and daughters.
According to what emerged from the trial, in fact, the 46-year-old security guard, who was arrested for these facts in recent months and also lost his job, erased the identity of his wife from Caserta, keeping her almost always locked up at home, forcing her to speak Apulian, to declare a different age, to have no contact with her family of origin, who had opposed the marriage because the man, even before the wedding, beat his future wife, who was pregnant at the time.
The couple's daughters themselves did not know of the existence of their relatives in Caserta, at least until the end of 2019, when their mother, exhausted by the constant violence she had suffered, took courage and revealed to the girls the existence of their relatives in Caserta. The teenagers, who were also often beaten by their father, contacted their relatives via social media, but were not believed at first. In fact, the relatives in Caserta had not heard from the woman for two decades, but then they understood the seriousness of the situation. One morning, at dawn, they came to Trani to pick up the 56-year-old woman and her two daughters, and took them to Caserta.
Here the three victims went to the Police Headquarters, where they reported the facts to the section of the Flying Squad that deals with crimes against women. The anti-violence center Spazio Donna then intervened to support the mother and the two daughters who were victims, and the lawyer Martina Piscitelli, who assisted them in the trial, managing to have the “padre padrone” husband convicted.
