Castel Volturno – Caterina De Rosa, 62, resident in Pinetamare, is accused of stalking and extortion. A notice of conclusion of preliminary investigations was issued against her by the Public Prosecutor's Office of Santa Maria Capua Vetere, signed by the deputy prosecutor Carmen D'Onofrio.
At the center of the investigation, a long and tormented sentimental relationship with a well-known local entrepreneur, AL, who reported her through his lawyers, Gaetano and Raffaele Crisileo.
According to the investigators' reconstruction, the woman allegedly carried out a series of persecutory behaviors towards her ex-partner, both during the relationship and after the breakup, causing him a persistent state of anxiety and fear for his safety and that of his family.
The man, sources report, was forced to radically change his habits and turn to a psychiatrist.

The alleged conduct includes verbal and physical threats, often triggered by jealousy. The woman allegedly hit the man with slaps to the face and, on some occasions, with a cell phone to the head. Among the most serious episodes, one occurred in September 2024, when De Rosa allegedly pointed a knife at the neck and chest of his ex to force him to hand over 4.000 euros.
The 62-year-old woman also allegedly demanded sums of money, up to 50.000 euros in total, threatening to contact acquaintances of the man to spread false news about alleged extramarital affairs, or fearing the intervention of "criminal friends" to harm him. On several occasions she would go to her ex-partner's house shouting and seeking a confrontation.
The accusation also includes the hypothesis of continued extortion: on a weekly basis, De Rosa allegedly obtained money under threat, including the use of bladed weapons. The contested facts allegedly occurred between July 2023 and October 2024, all in the territory of Castel Volturno.
The investigation, still in its preliminary phase, could now lead to a request for indictment.

It is truly incredible how certain situations can get out of hand. The protection of victims must be a priority, as well as the thorough investigation of the facts to avoid misunderstandings or injustices.
The story of Caterina De Rosa is very complex and makes us reflect on how relationships can degenerate into extreme behaviors. It is important that justice takes its course and the truth of the facts is verified.
