Twenty-three years have passed since Omar Favaro was the protagonist of one of the most dramatic crimes in Italy: the Novi Ligure massacre. Together with his girlfriend at the time, Erika De Nardo, killed Susy Cassini and Gianluca De Nardo with almost a hundred stab woundsthe girl's mother and younger brother respectively.
After serving their sentences, both Omar Favaro and Erika were released, but now he is involved in a new legal case. His ex-wife, whom he met on social media 9 years ago and with whom he had a daughter, accused him of around twenty incidents of mistreatment, all of which occurred between 2019 and 2021. The accusations are serious: from repeated death threats, to those of scarring the woman's face with acid, to physical, economic and psychological violence.
Favaro's ex-wife said she was continually harassed with humiliating phrases such as: “I'll scar you with acid,” “You suck,” and “You're anorexic.” After the separation, she denounced Omar and asked for sole custody of her daughter. However, according to Favaro, the woman would have “invented everything” just to obtain custody of the child.
The investigations led the investigators to ask for the precautionary measure of a ban on him from approaching the victims, but both the investigating judge and the Review Court denied it. According to the judges there is no danger: his ex-wife moved elsewhere with the little girl, the disputed facts are distant in time and he has already served his sentence for the Novi Ligure massacre. «Here emerges a “natural” punishment that lasts and persists over time beyond the strictly juridical one now expiated. Natural punishment that manifests itself in various forms“, the judges write, “with respect to the wife who considers Favaro irremediably lost, demonstrating a strong interest in excluding the man from her daughter's life, thus avoiding problematic comparisons with the outside world” and also with the little girl, with respect to whom “she raises the problematic question of revealing the father's past”.
Omar Favaro denies the accusations and has not yet been questioned. The Ivrea prosecutor's office has closed the investigation and accuses him of the crimes of domestic abuse and sexual violence: he could request indictment, paving the way for a new trial for him.
