Love, fortune tellers and extortion. The hearing of a trial that arose after the complaint of a woman from Sassari who, in 2021, had the unfortunate idea of turning to a "magician" who advertised his exploits on Facebook, was held yesterday in the court in Sassari.
The 48-year-old wanted to shed light on the darkness of her relationship situation and relied on the black magic rituals provided by the fortune teller.
With whom she chatted at length on Messenger and WhatsApp sharing personal information until the promised spiritual and otherworldly realm soon ended up transforming into a very earthly request for money . In essence the alleged seer threatened her by telling her: either you pay or I will let you know what you have revealed to me .
The victim, in a panic, pays an initial sum of 320 euros into a card whose coordinates she had received, but at the further request for money she rebels and reports everything. The investigations produce a further twist, that is, the magician is a sorceress , or at least the cardholder is a woman who defends herself in court by claiming that she too has been blackmailed by the ineffable sorcerer.
But for Judge Antonio Spano there are still no grounds for acquitting her of the charges. In the meantime, the proceedings continue with the injured party assisted by the lawyer Maria Grazia Sanna while the accused is assisted by the lawyer Giulia Bagno.
