Overview
- The judge for the preliminary hearing in Ivrea, Lucrezia Natta, ordered Favaro to stand trial after a probe led by prosecutor Ludovico Bosso, with the ordinary trial set for 19 March.
- Prosecutors allege about twenty episodes between 2019 and 2021 involving maltreatment and sexual violence against his former partner.
- Case files cite threats like "I'll scar your face with acid" and "I'll put you in a wheelchair," along with assaults, thrown objects, smashed phones, and a head pushed toward a lit stove.
- The complainant, represented by attorney Francesca Violante, left the shared home and has been admitted as a civil party.
- Favaro, assisted by lawyers Lorenzo Repetti and Vittorio Gatti, rejects the accusations, while the case proceeds separately from the 2001 Novi Ligure murders for which he received a 14-year sentence.
