Giugliano. Thanks to an electronic anti-stalking bracelet that simultaneously alerted 112 and the victim, a tragedy was avoided.
A 33-year-old from Giugliano was stopped a short distance from his ex's house in Quarto with two bottles containing petrol in his hand.
He was arrested by the Carabinieri for violating the restraining order and is now in custody awaiting trial.
But most likely, without that bracelet , the man would have committed some serious act against his ex.
A few months ago, the court of Naples had ordered him to wear it and to maintain a minimum distance of 500 meters from his ex-partner. The device had been configured to report any violation of this distance.
The continuous alarms that went off yesterday evening pushed the Carabinieri to intervene immediately. The man was tracked down near a pizzeria in Quarto Flegreo, about 200 meters from his ex's house.
