Carabinieri in Sant'Arpino have arrested a 48-year-old local man on suspicion of family mistreatment after he allegedly climbed over a fence, entered his former wife's home and assaulted her.
The incident allegedly occurred on the afternoon of 21 September 2026 in Sant'Arpino, in the province of Caserta. The reported victim is the man's 47-year-old former wife.
According to reports in Il Mattino and Il Crivello, the man allegedly entered the woman's property by climbing over the boundary fence or wall, then assaulted her physically and insulted her before leaving the scene.
Investigation and arrest
The local Carabinieri station investigated the episode and arrested the suspect in flagranza differita on suspicion of maltrattamenti in famiglia.
The reports say investigators reconstructed the incident using video-surveillance footage, witness interviews and further investigative checks. The suspect was subsequently taken to the prison in Santa Maria Capua Vetere, where he remains pending a validation hearing.
Woman treated in Aversa
After the alleged assault, the woman received medical treatment in Aversa. The reported medical assessment indicated injuries expected to heal in two days.
The two outlets describe the treating facility differently: Il Mattino names the Moscati hospital in Aversa, while Il Crivello refers to Aversa's civil hospital. The two-day recovery assessment is consistent across both reports.
What the reports establish — and what they do not
Both publications present the account as an allegation under judicial examination, not as a final conviction. The details published so far reflect investigative and journalistic reconstructions rather than a final court finding.
No outcome of the validation hearing or of any subsequent proceedings was available in the reports consulted. The precise sequence and details of the alleged assault therefore remain subject to the ongoing judicial process.
