Three people have been arrested after a gang held down a person and compelled him to observe as they raped his 18-year-old fiancée in Rome.
Minutes before they were surrounded, the couple had parked in a quiet corner of Tor Tre Teste, a park within the eastern a part of the capital.
They were naked before the incident took place on October 25, in line with the Italian broadcaster TG La7.
Police said the attackers broke the automotive window, dragged the 24-year-old man from the vehicle and compelled the girl out as she tried to cover herself with an item of clothing.
Two of the attackers restrained the person as his fiancée was dragged a brief distance away, the person told police.
Because the group sexually assaulted his fiancée, the person cried out for help and pleaded with them to stop, but was unable to interrupt free.
All three perpetrators fled after the attack, although police said five assailants could have possibly been involved.
The Italian couple, who were terrified and confused in line with authorities, contacted the police.
Three Moroccan men have since been arrested on charges of gang rape and robbery.
Two of those men were traced by officers from Rome’s Flying Squad unit and detained only days after the attack, and the third man was picked up in Verona just a few days ago.
The arrests were kept quiet while they continued gathering evidence.
Fingerprints lifted from the shattered automotive window match the boys who’ve been arrested, in line with investigators.
Officers initially considered the incident a robbery, because the couple’s belongings were taken and the attackers are believed to be drug dealers.
The investigation is ongoing – two other persons are being sought.
This attack isn’t the primary for Tor Tre Teste park, as a 60-year-old Italian woman was raped and robbed of her phone while out walking her dog in August.
