“He beat me, slapped me, slammed against the wall, insulted me (...). He haunts me with phone calls at night, lurks under the house, intercom at 6 in the morning ... ".

These are the accusations contained in a complaint presented by the former partner of Enrico Varriale, the TV face of football in Rai and until last summer the deputy director of RaiSport.

The journalist was subjected by the investigating magistrate Monica Ciancio to the precautionary measure of the "prohibition of approaching less than 300 meters from the places frequented" by the former partner and to the prescription not to "communicate with her" and to "leave immediately in the event of a fortuitous encounter, placing himself at a distance of 300 meters ".

The measure as a result of the investigation into stalking, persecutory acts and personal injury coordinated by the Rome Public Prosecutor's Office and lasted just over a month, as reported today by Corriere della Sera.
"The conduct put in place by the Varriale gives account of an aggressive and prevaricating personality, evidently incapable of self-control", specifies the power of attorney.

“I have never stalked anyone and whoever says this will answer for it in all offices. It is a painful personal story that I would have preferred to remain so - Varriale replies to Corriere today -. Unfortunately, however, completely false accusations have been made and made public. I am sure that I will be able to prove their groundlessness easily and in a short time ”.

According to what was reconstructed in the investigation starting from the complaint of the 61-year-old former partner, on 6 August Varriale "during an altercation for reasons of jealousy, he violently banged her against the wall, shaking and beating her arms, kicking them and, while the part offended, he tried to regain possession of the cell phone he had stolen from her, grabbed her neck with one hand, causing her injuries ".

Attached to the documents is also the report of the emergency room of the Gemelli Polyclinic where the woman who speaks of "lacerated bruised wound in the left arm, bruising in the left hand, swelling of the right elbow with pain in active mobilization, abrasions at the base of the neck and on the left knee, curable in five days ".
