The victim, fearing for his own safety, would get into the car with him and head to the nearest ATM. Here, her 27-year-old would have made her withdraw € 250, the maximum withdrawal limit allowed for her. After taking her sum, the man would again threaten her not to say anything to anyone, leaving shortly after towards the center of the town. Once back at home, the woman asked for help from the carabinieri who, having arrived at the man’s home, would have found both the 250 euros taken shortly before her and the knife that she would have used to threaten her partner. The weapon was seized and the money returned to its rightful owner. After being arrested, the 27-year-old was accompanied to the Cremona prison. The arrest was validated this morning.
