A woman who fled Tunisia with her daughters because she was likely to be arrested due to alleged unpaid debts benefited from subsidiary protection by a court in Milan in Italy.
The judge judged that the fifties risked being subject to “tortures” and “inhuman and degrading treatments” during his imprisonment, judicial sources said on April 7, quoted by infomigrant.
The special immigration section of the Milan court granted special protection to a 50 -year -old Tunisian woman because she risked “torture” and “inhuman and degrading treatments” if she was held in Tunisia for her unpaid debts.
“The prison for debt” was abolished in Italy over 150 years ago, said the judge. For these reasons, as well as the “dramatic state” of prisons in Tunisia and the risk of police abuse, the court granted subsidiary protection to the woman who fled the country with her daughters against the serious risk of being arrested for non-payment of her debts.
The Milanese judge Pietro Caccialanza wrote in her verdict that the woman, her husband – of whom she has since divorced – and other people, have given their documents for an alleged initiative linked to the creation of a new party, following the advice of a friend.
According to court documents, the party has received public funding for an electoral campaign: more than five million dinars were paid by the Interior Ministry to the party’s bank account of the party, which then fled to Abu Dhabi with money.
The woman in question with around 10 other people, then discovered that she had been registered as a promoter and candidate of the party that she did not know and legally assumed the responsibility for the restitution of these funds.
