He tied him to a chair using an electric wire torn from the wall , then slapped him and threatened him with a knife, terrifying him to the point of pushing Hasib Omerovic to flee through the window .
This is what was implemented by police officer Andrea Pellegrini, who ended up under house arrest on charges of torture for what he did last July 25 in an apartment in the Primavalle district of Rome . For him he also accuses her of having written forgery, in competition with others, in the service note on the activity carried out. Against four agents, ended up in the register of suspects and today searched, also the charge of misdirection.
The search last July was carried out after some posts had appeared on some Facebook profiles in which Omerovic was accused of having molested some girls in the neighborhood . An inspection, carried out by at least four officers, which however turned into something completely different with both physical and psychological aggression which led the 30-year-old, suffering from deaf-mutism, to throw himself out of the window . Hasib is still hospitalized for that dramatic flight.
The investigation by the Rome prosecutor's office, coordinated by the deputy Michele Prestipino, reconstructed what happened that afternoon in July: the agent entered "inside the house, immediately and for no apparent reason" he hit Omerovic "with two slaps in the area between the neck and the face, at the same time addressing her address, with a decidedly altered attitude, the following sentence: 'don't you ever dare to do those things again, to take pictures of that little girl'" and after having challenged " a kitchen knife and brandished it at the man's address. Pellegrini then broke down Omerovic's bedroom door, although the latter "promptly took action to hand over the keys".
Once inside the room , he forced the 38-year-old to sit on a chair and after tearing off a wire from the fan "he used it to tie Omerovic's wrists brandishing" once again "the kitchen knife at the man , threatening him, yelling at him the following phrase 'if you do it again, I'll shove it in your c ...'" and "he hit him again with a slap and kept yelling at him, repeatedly telling him 'don't do it again'". For the investigating judge, "the events are undoubtedly of a serious nature, committed in disregard of the public function performed, as well as violating fundamental rules of respect for human dignity. The repeated acts of violence and threats appear completely gratuitous. Pellegrini - adds the investigating judge - had no hesitation in the face of a deaf-mute boy and a girl with cognitive disabilities (Omerovic's sister ed) by carrying out repeated violent acts, both on people and on things and seriously miners, so as to denote stubbornness and inability to self-control".
In the order, the judge also writes that «although the intervention at the house in via Gerolamo Aleandro can be considered (initially) legitimate» this activity was «carried out in completely anomalous ways, and, at least from a certain moment in then, exploited with consequent violation of duties and abuse and going beyond the function in particular by the chief assistant Pellegrini ». The judge defines it as a "punitive" intervention because "the identification activity has simply become a pretext and integrates, at least in the evaluation of this venue, the crime of torture". Violence and threats «carried out to the detriment of a defenseless person through a threatening vehemence clearly visible to Hasib, evidently also mimic, on the occasion of an identification which, in terms of executive methods, appears anomalous and has itself assumed, in the dynamics , "authoritarian" characters and, at the same time, mortifying for the person, as can be deduced from the display of the documents on display and in perfect order on the table in the living room of the individual to be identified".
