A night of fear turned into a decisive intervention by the Carabinieri in Santa Maria Capua Vetere, where a 59-year-old woman was rescued after yet another episode of violence linked to a long series of stalking incidents. The alarm was raised following a report to the Operations Center, which brought patrols from the Mobile Radio Unit to the scene, responding in the middle of the night to the city center.
The officers found the woman in a clear state of shock, having just been attacked. After securing and reassuring her, they called for emergency medical personnel, simultaneously launching initial investigations to reconstruct what happened. From the statements collected and the evidence gathered on site, a pattern of alleged harassment emerged, consisting of threats, stalking, and physical and verbal assaults, which had reportedly been ongoing since the summer of 2024.
Immediate investigations allowed the Carabinieri to shortly thereafter track down the man identified as the perpetrator, a 58-year-old who had previously had a relationship with the victim. He was arrested for stalking, a measure that allows for intervention even shortly after the violent episode, when there is concrete evidence and immediate evidence.
The intervention was conducted with particular attention to the protection of the woman, who received medical care on site.

After completing the formal procedures, the arrested man was transferred to the Santa Maria Capua Vetere prison, where he was placed at the disposal of the judicial authorities, who were promptly informed of the incident by the Carabinieri of the Sammaritana Company.

This is the defense line put forward in court by Antonio Fullone, former prison administrator in Campania, a defendant in the maxi-trial into the violence that occurred on April 6, 2020, in the Santa Maria Capua Vetere prison.
Before the panel of judges, Fullone explained that the search of the Nile unit, where approximately 300 inmates were subjected to checks that later degenerated into beatings and abuse, was intended to restore the facility's security.
