He had not accepted the end of the relationship with his partner . Then came the persecution , the intrusion on her social media to publish photos and comments with insults, the devastation of the apartment where the woman lived. And the strange attempt to buy acid "to break the chain" that tied his scooter".

Last Friday, a 33-year-old Roman was arrested in Milan and ended up in prison on charges of stalking. The man allegedly carried out a " disturbing strategy of obsessive control and psychological attrition " for over two months.

According to the Carabinieri investigation, as emerges from the wiretaps, the purchase of the corrosive liquid would have been used to attack the woman and disfigure her . The man, denying this point, however confirmed almost all the dozens of stalking episodes, explaining that he had "completely lost his mind" after the breakup of the engagement.
