Extortion for sexual purposes against a woman. On this charge, a 58-year-old Italian was arrested in Sassari last Saturday by the state police. «The man», explains Michele Mecca, new head of the flying squad of the Turritan capital, at a press conference this morning, «had shot a video 6 and a half years ago during an intimate relationship and without the lady's knowledge. And he threatened to spread it."
To prevent him from doing so, the 58-year-old demanded money , accumulating around 30 thousand euros over the years . In recent times the last request, 15 thousand euros. At this point the woman reports everything to the state police and last Saturday the trap is sprung against the extortionist in the area of a supermarket.
The police officers arrest the man who is now in Bancali prison while he pockets the money. «The woman», continues Mecca, «has decided to come forward to invite other women who suffer the same situation to report».
