The State Police arrested a 31-year-old Roman man in flagrante delicto for stalking. The recent regulatory change to the "Red Code" is decisive.
The Postal Police has arrested a 31-year-old Roman citizen, seriously suspected of having committed numerous persecutory acts committed in the last two months against a former work colleague.
The activity starts from the complaint filed by the young victim, an employee of an important multinational consultancy company, who on 13 November turned to the Postal Police of Rome to report a series of alarming episodes.
An initial delivery of a bouquet of flowers to her home by an unknown admirer was followed by conduct that had generated a state of profound agitation in her, so much so as to induce her to change her life habits and think of turning to social and health services for psychological assistance.
In fact, he received an anonymous letter on the company email with a photo of himself taken from the woman's Instagram profile attached. Subsequently, she discovered that in her name, but without her knowledge, some attempts at e-commerce purchases had been made and a series of online services had been activated, including registrations on pornographic or sexual encounters.
Towards the end of November the alarm generated by these episodes was proven to be well founded with the receipt of two emails with seriously threatening contents: "YOUR END IS NEAR" and "THINK YOURSELF DEAD". The letters apparently came from the same victim presenting in the address the girl's name and surname, but with a foreign domain that guarantees anonymity.
All investigative investigations conducted by C.O.S.C. agents Lazio did not initially allow the real perpetrator of such behavior to be identified, who demonstrated a remarkable ability to erase his computer traces. In fact, all the internet connections were made using IT techniques that allow the digital identity of the author to be hidden, for example the use of a Romanian VPN. Likewise, online purchases were made with foreign payments, significantly hindering the acquisition of transaction details.
The turning point in the investigations on the eve of New Year's Eve, when the woman reported an episode similar to the initial one, i.e. the purchase on a well-known online portal of a gold and diamond ring of considerable value which was delivered to her home on the evening of December 28th .
At that point the operators of the Postal Police, in light of the last reported event, were able to trace a 31-year-old Roman man, a former colleague of the victim with a criminal record for violence and already convicted of years of illegal detention.
Considering the criminal profile of the author of the persecutory acts, evidently alarming for the safety of the victim, an urgent search decree was requested, including an IT search. promptly issued by the prosecuting authority of the local Rome Prosecutor's Office, was carried out with a positive outcome, finding traces of the illicit activity suitable for attributing criminal liability to the man.
In this regard, the effectiveness of the new legislation regarding the red code must be underlined, which made it possible to proceed with the expected deferred flagrant arrest, thanks to the evidence collected on the last reported persecutory act, carried out in the previous 48 hours from the intervention of the investigators and crystallized with the acquisition of the computer traces left on the boy's mobile phone, relating to the purchase of the ring, as well as previous threats.
In any case, it is stated that this criminal proceeding is still in the preliminary investigation phase and that the arrested person must be considered not guilty until the final conviction, despite the fact that the arrest and the G.I.P. have been validated. has ordered house arrest with the obligation to wear an electronic bracelet.
In any case, the State Police reminds you that you must always find the courage to contact the competent authorities to ask for the necessary personal and psychological support, in order to avoid greater risks to your safety, also using the information dedicated to this phenomenology of crime and present on the portal of the police station. online, reachable at the address: www.commissariatodips.it
