On charges of sexual assault for having drugged a young couple and abused the woman during an appointment to buy and sell a box, Omar Confalonieri, 48 year old resident in the south-west Milanese hinterland, real estate agent with office in via Montenapoleone in Milan, was arrested by the Carabinieri on 5 November for crimes of aggravated sexual violence, kidnapping and personal injury.
The man acted despite the fact that the two-month-old daughter was also at the appointment. According to the investigations that led him back to prison, the violence committed in early October was also filmed by CCTV cameras placed in the family’s apartment.
The investigation is coordinated by the deputy Mannella and by the prosecutor Menegazzo. The man made use of the right not to answer: he would have had to face the interrogation of guarantee this morning in front of the investigating judge Stefania Pepe, but he remained silent. In addition to the couple, who would remain at his mercy for about eight hours, two other victims have already come forward to report the real estate agent, already convicted in 2008 for sexual violence by the Monza Court and then rehabilitated. The fear of investigators and carabinieri, however, is that the number of victims is destined to rise and they invite those who recognize themselves in this affair to report.
The complaint: “After a drink, an illness”
He stunned them in a bar near their home by dissolving benzodiazepines in their aperitif with a ruse. It is a detail that emerges from the order with which the investigating judge Stefania Pepe, accepting the request of the prosecutor Alessia Menegazzo and the Deputy Prosecutor Letizia Mannella, ordered the arrest of Omar Confalonieri, the real estate agent now in the cell for having drugged a young couple and raping her on October 2nd. As the investigating judge reconstructs, reporting some testimonies, the woman, who had gone to the cashier to pay, was in such a confused state that she could not “put the wallet inside the bag”.
The choice of the place near the young couple’s home and where the two were regular customers, was dictated by the need to “talk about the real estate operation”, the purchase and sale of a box, “without wasting time” as the intention was to go home early to prepare dinner for his daughter. Instead that ‘poisoned’ drink almost completely erased the memories.
The serial maniac nailed by the cameras
During the appointment in the bar, Confalonieri secretly poured the drug into some drinks, a drug later found in his home, in the south-west hinterland of Milan, during a search. Then he went home with them, precisely where the two arrived already in a confused state. But if they were not conscious, to nail Confalonieri there are above all the videos of the video surveillance system of the apartment: the cameras in fact would have taken everything. And together with the technical-scientific investigations of the investigators, they would show that the man would have kept the family under arrest for 8 hours.
Gip: “He has a network of clients for abuse”
The judge, accepting the request for custody in prison of the adjunct Mannella and of the prosecutor Menegazzo in the investigation conducted by the carabinieri, explains that Confalonieri, suspected serial rapist and already convicted in 2009, is the “owner of the individual company ‘Confalonieri Real Estate’ “(currently it is closed, ed) with an office in via Montenapoleone in Milan, has a wide network of contacts with customers, women in particular, and “in his availability” has “multiple apartments and rooms where he can deceive his victims and here drug them and abuse them “. At the end of the more than 50 pages of the order, the investigating judge, after having reconstructed in detail the abuses against the family, refers to Confalonieri’s “high criminal capacity” and clarifies that “no deterrent effect has evidently exercised” not even “the previous condemnation for similar “facts.
A witness: “My daughter is also his victim”
The daughter of an acquaintance of Omar Confalonieri, the real estate agent arrested for stunning a couple of clients with benzodiazepines and then raping the woman, confided to her mother that one day when “she was left alone” in the 48-year-old’s home, ” after drinking an herbal tea offered to her “, she” felt suddenly ill, her vision became blurred and she did not remember anything of what happened “. The details of another alleged case of violence emerge from the order of custody in prison signed by the investigating judge of Milan Stefania Pepe in the investigation of the carabinieri, coordinated by the adjunct Mannella and by the prosecutor Menegazzo.
The episode “never reported until now”, as stated in the provision, dates back to “about 4 years ago”. It was the young woman’s mother herself who reported it to the investigators on 12 October, after noting that the carabinieri had presented themselves for a search of Confalonieri’s home on 8 October. He had, therefore, felt the “need” to tell that fact that he had previously underestimated.
Confalonieri, according to the woman’s words, claiming to have “problems with her computer, had asked for help” from her acquaintance’s daughter “in her early twenties”. And the next day the daughter confided to her mother that, “during the time she was left alone at the Confalonieri house” and after drinking a herbal tea she felt ill and could no longer remember anything of the hours spent in that house.
In 2008 he abused an eighteen year old: convicted, he was rehabilitated
Confalonieri, who was 34 at the time, had already been arrested in March 2008 (and then convicted in 2009 by the Monza Court) on charges of raping an 18-year-old colleague, in an agricultural area in Lentate sul Seveso. , after making her unconscious even in that case with sleeping pills. Later, according to what was reported by the Prosecutor’s Office, where having served his sentence and following a rehabilitation process, the man was “rehabilitated” by a decision of the Court of Milan which arrived in 2013.
