Extortion, persecutory acts and family mistreatment against the mother : these are the charges that a 36-year-old from Senorbì will have to answer for, arrested by the police of the local station with the support of colleagues from the San Basilio station.

In the morning the man showed up in Ortacesus at the workplace of his mother, a 65-year-old widow who works as a carer. After yet another request for money accompanied by threats, the 36-year-old grabbed the woman by the wrists and violently yanked her , managing to extort a 10 euro note from her which he snatched from her hands. The terrified victim immediately called the police.

The military, who quickly arrived on site, managed to track down the attacker inside his home . During the personal search, the crumpled banknote that had been stolen from his mother shortly before was found in the man's shorts pocket.

The 36-year-old's arrest comes after repeated behavior reported by the woman between January and June this year. The man was therefore taken to prison in Uta , awaiting further court decisions.
