A woman on the phone , in tears, her voice cracking with fear. On the other end of the line, the 112 Operations Center is trying to gather fragments of information while, in the background, yet another episode of domestic violence unfolds . It happened once again in Budoni , where the timely intervention of the Carabinieri prevented a night of terror from turning into tragedy .
The call came in late in the evening. The woman, attacked by her Romanian ex-partner, was able to provide very few details about her whereabouts : she was in a panic, while the man attacked her furiously . The call was triangulated, accompanied by intense patrol activity in the area. The officers remained on the phone with the victim, despite the ongoing violence, until they managed to locate the home . When the Carabinieri arrived , the man was repeatedly attempting to attack his ex-partner, who showed up with blood-soaked clothes .
The intervention was providential. The woman was rescued from the attacker's fury and entrusted to the care of paramedics at Olbia hospital . The man, who also allegedly resisted and refused to provide his personal details, was arrested on charges of mistreatment and assault.
This is not an isolated incident. Just a few days ago, the State Police arrested another man in Budoni on charges of domestic abuse, confirming a phenomenon that continues to cause serious concern and has law enforcement engaged on multiple fronts in the fight against gender-based violence.
This incident represents the most serious incident to emerge during the extensive extraordinary patrol of the territory conducted over the weekend by the Carabinieri of the Siniscola Company . Not just checkpoints, but a veritable wide-ranging plan. The overall toll of the operations was severe. Several driving licenses were confiscated and eleven people were reported at large: seven drivers were caught driving with a blood alcohol level well above the legal limit. Three others refused to submit to a breathalyzer test. Among these, a peculiar incident: a driver, upon seeing the patrol, allegedly abandoned his car in the middle of the road and attempted to flee on foot, hiding among some flowerbeds. When approached by the officers, he nevertheless refused to be tested.
