The preliminary hearing judge of Rome has sentenced Lucrezia Hailé Selassiè, a self-styled Ethiopian princess, to 1 year and 8 months (suspended sentence) on charges of stalking Manuel Bortuzzo, the Paralympic swimming champion.

However, the woman did not accept the end of that flirt and allegedly began to harass Bortuzzo with increasingly aggressive behavior, so much so that the swimmer decided to report her and the 27-year-old was subjected to a ban on approaching and forced to wear an electronic bracelet for stalking.
In the indictment, the prosecutors of Piazzale Clodio write that the girl caused her ex "a state of anxiety and fear and a well-founded fear for his safety , forcing him to change his lifestyle habits, to the point of blocking her and not feeling free to move around peacefully and start a new relationship".
