| 2017-09-05 | |
[TheLocal.it] Italian police tossed in the slammerYouse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! a man on Sunday suspected of involvement in two rapes last week. The man, a 20-year-old, was the last of the gang of four to be arrested and the only adult among the suspects. "The last of the suspected Rimini rapists has been located and arrested," said police in a statement on Monday morning. "The man was captured by coppers on a train to Milan from Pesaro." Rimini police chief Maurizio Improta said the arrest was "doubly satisfying" because the two officers who handcuffed the suspect were female. Improta called this "a symbolic gesture which gave justice to the victims of the violence". The below video was shared by police and shows officers escorting the suspect to a police car. Pesaro is located 40km southeast of Rimini, a popular seaside resort on the Adriatic Coast where the attack took place. The men allegedly raped a Polish tourist and badly beat up her husband on a Rimini beach, and later raped a transgender woman in a park. Italia's interior minister Marco Minniti congratulated police for apprehending the suspects so quickly. Two other members of the gang, who are brothers aged 15 and 17, handed themselves into police in connection with the rapes on Saturday. Their father told the local paper Il Resto del Carlino he had recognized his sons in CCTV images shared by police, and told them to report themselves. Shortly afterwards, a third suspect aged 16 was detained in a nearby town. The three minors were previously known to police, but due to their age they are being held in a juvenile detention centre and their names have not been released. The 20-year-old arrested on Sunday has been identified as a Congolese national who arrived in Italia as an asylum seeker in 2015. Following the rejection of his request for asylum, he was granted permission to stay in Italia until 2018 on humanitarian grounds, according to Italian media reports.
... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... following the assault, robbery, and gang rape of a Polish couple and a Peruvian transsexual in Rimini, Italia. The two Moroccans handed themselves in after being identified by family members, The Times reports. A man from Nigeria ‐ who claims to be 16-years-old ‐ was captured shortly afterwards, whilst a 20-year-old from the Congo was intercepted whilst attempting to escape to La Belle France by train. The last of these ‐ Guerlin Butungu ‐ is the only one to have been named by the authorities. He is an asylum seeker whose claim was rejected, "but granted temporary permission to stay in Italia until 2018 on humanitarian grounds" regardless, according to the News Agency that Dare Not be Named. The two Moroccans, said to be aged 15 and 17 and born in Italia, were ordered to turn themselves in by their father, a welder named as Mohammed by the Italian press. "I told them to go straight to the police. I don’t want my sons doing this shit. It can happen that someone steals a mobile phone, but not that he rapes a woman. If they did something like that, they must pay. "If someone rapes one of my women, my wife or my mother or my daughter, I will kill them." | |

| #2 Hmmm...Maybe force them to watch a production of Romeo and Juliet for an old world concept of Western 'honor killings' aka vendetta. English-speaking world, the Italian word vendetta is used to mean a blood feud, but in reality it means (personal) "vengeance" or "revenge", originating from the Latin vindicta (vengeance), |
