Jessica De Lima previously repeatedly accused her ex-partner of violent behavior, but later dropped the charges.
Last April, the court had issued a decision that prohibited Pedrozos from approaching within 500 meters of the woman’s home and workplace, while he was ordered to wear an electronic monitoring bracelet.
This decision was issued after the perpetrator was arrested on his own initiative for “assault in a public place”, during which he had hit the woman with fists and sharp objects.
During his latest arrest, the carabinieri found that Pedrozo was no longer wearing the electronic bracelet, which has so far not been traced.
