A Romanian citizen was arrested in Riva del Garda during a traffic stop, as he was wanted for attempted murder. The man, who was sentenced in 2021 by the Public Prosecutor’s Office at the Court of Siena, had fled after stabbing his girlfriend in her sleep in 2011 in Poggibonsi, causing her serious injuries. Following an argument, he had left the scene after a traffic accident and had been untraceable within the national territory.
The arrest occurred thanks to an operation by the carabinieri, who recognized the man during their checks. Sentenced to six years and six months in prison, he had only served six months in pre-trial detention. He will now have to complete his sentence at the Spini di Gardolo prison.
