A Romanian man was arrested in Switzerland after allegedly injuring a woman following a conflict

A 28-year-old Romanian man was arrested on October 9 in the Lugano area, in Switzerland’s canton of Ticino, after allegedly injuring a woman following a conflict that broke out inside a home. The victim was taken to hospital, but her injuries were not life-threatening.

The case was made public on Thursday, October 15, by the Ticino Public Prosecutor’s Office and the cantonal police. The authorities did not specify the relationship between the two, what triggered the conflict, or the circumstances in which the woman was injured.

Prosecutors are investigating the man on suspicion of attempted intentional homicide, attempted serious bodily harm, and simple bodily harm. Investigators are also checking whether he violated immigration laws. According to the Swiss media, the Romanian man lives in Romania.

The arrest was subsequently confirmed by the judge responsible for coercive measures. The investigation is being coordinated by prosecutor Veronica Lipari, while inquiries continue to clarify the allegations and the circumstances of the incident.
