Raped for two years by the gang which also included some boys related to 'ndrangheta families, who were arrested and now sentenced to between 5 and 13 years in prison .
But after those arrests she, 14 years old, and her family, were isolated by the people of Seminara , a municipality in the metropolitan city of Reggio Calabria. And now the girl and her family have left the town, thanks to accommodation made available by the Calabria Region they have gone to live in another place.
President Roberto Occhiuto has made available an Aterp accommodation . "The institutions are at the side of this family - he said - Gabriella's family is not alone, it has many good people around it who believe in justice and in a different Calabria".
According to Corriere, in recent days, after a meeting at the Prefecture, the Carabinieri notified the girl of the "extraordinary and urgent" measure in which it is stated that "given her situation of extreme precariousness and social hardship , the need has emerged to find accommodation to be allocated to avoid further social, family and environmental problems , as well as to guarantee her primary needs".
In recent years, the family has suffered threats and damage from relatives of the convicted youths . Hence the "extraordinary and urgent" nature of the measure, to allow Gabriella and her parents to start over and live a normal life.
"I have been fighting a battle that I thought was lost for two years. I had resigned myself to living in a hostile country, challenging every day the wrath and hatred of the relatives of my daughter's rapists. Now, finally, I have my smile back ," these are the words of the mother.
