He routinely humiliated and beat his deaf-dumb wife in front of underage children, and, according to the investigations, the physical and psychological harassment lasted for over 15 years.

This is what was discovered by the carabinieri who arrested a 35-year-old in the province of Taranto, on charges of mistreatment in the family, aggravated by having committed the facts in the presence of underage children, and negligent injuries. The man and the woman are both foreigners.

The 35-year-old had already been sentenced in 2014 with an irrevocable sentence to three years in prison for mistreating her partner (even during her pregnancy), humiliating her, offending her and threatening to take her children away if she rebelled.

To bring out the story of violence was a request for intervention arrived at 112 on August 19, when the couple's neighbors asked for military intervention after hearing desperate screams coming from inside one of the houses.

Arriving on the spot, the carabinieri were greeted at the door by three crying minors who, frightened and still in shock, had told the investigators that their mother had been beaten and taken away by their drunk father. Once the searches were started, after a few minutes the patrol had tracked down the arrested person's car which, a few hundred meters from the house, had been involved in an accident.

The woman had suffered several injuries and had been hospitalized for thirty days.
