The Carabinieri of the Provincial Command of Reggio Calabria have tracked down and arrested a 36-year-old of Georgian nationality, held responsible for mistreatment in the family and abandonment by an incapable person.

The 36-year-old - hired as a domestic worker to take care of an 88-year-old - on several occasions, would have left the woman at home in the evening to return in the late morning , regardless of the conditions of the person entrusted to her, unable to move and without food and water .

The family members, who continued to take care of the elderly woman, noticed the worsening of her health conditions and, suspicious, warned the carabinieri who, through the video surveillance systems installed inside the house, managed to have a complete picture of what was happening.

During the investigations by the Arma military , episodes of physical violence were also recorded against the elderly woman who, throughout the period, suffered without any possibility of reacting.

The carer was traced to the province of Pordenone, where in the meantime she had been regularly employed by another elderly woman.
