Two brothers arrested in Catania for intimidating and assaulting shop owners over public space usage
Explain this article briefly:
On delegation from the District Prosecutor’s Office of Catania, the military of the Carabinieri company of Catania Piazza Dante carried out an order of application of a precautionary custody measure in prison, issued by the Judge for preliminary investigations of the Catania court, against two brothers, Lombardo Domenico Giuseppe, 37 years old, and Lombardo Lucio, 33 years old, as both are suspected of extortion and stalking offenses. The restrictive measure summarizes the results of an investigation that stemmed from a complaint filed in August 2022 by the owners of two commercial businesses located in the historic center of Catania. The investigations, coordinated by the District Prosecutor’s Office of Catania and delegated to the operational unit and the Carabinieri station of Catania Piazza Dante, have shown how the two suspects, owners of a nearby commercial business, have engaged in a series of intimidation acts against the victims to use the public space in front of their business exclusively, despite the victims having a permit to occupy the public land. The investigations, also carried out through the acquisition of surveillance images and documents from the relevant municipal offices, have revealed that the violent episodes, sometimes involving physical violence or damage, were not occasional but constant and repeated over time. In light of the seriousness of the evidence, the Judge for preliminary investigations, at the request of the public prosecutors, ordered the precautionary measure of custody in prison for both suspects. After the formalities, they were taken to the Catania Piazza Lanza prison.
