Italy: The Nigerian Crime Wave Continues

  Monumental Cemetery in Brescia

-Il Giornale

Italy, like virtually all Western European countries, is plagued by illegal immigration and resultant crime. Thanks to a feckless government, boatloads of so-called refugees from North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the Middle East arrive regularly carrying dozens, even hundreds of these fortune-seekers, mostly at the southern Italian island of Lampedusa. One of the many by-products of this human trafficking has been the establishment of a Nigerian mafia, engaged in drug trafficking, human trafficking, and various crimes of violence. They are particularly violent and vicious and are responsible for several murders in Italy.

And like so many other European countries, the courts are unable and/or unwilling to deal effectively with the problem when criminal defendants come before them. How else do you explain that this week, in the town of Brescia, near Milan, a 24-year-old Nigerian has been arrested for raping a woman late at night inside a cemetery? It turns out that the suspect had already served time in jail for raping another woman! Why was he not deported upon release? Your guess is as good as mine. So thanks to Italy’s weak immigration policies, two more women have been raped. Thanks to a lenient court, there is now a second victim.

One obvious question is this: Is it fair to label all Nigerian immigrants in Italy as criminals and rapists? No. There are decent Nigerians who are in Europe on business, legal immigrants, and/or students. So this is not to single out  Africans in general or Nigerians in particular. However, it is a documented fact that there is a sizable Nigerian mafia operating in Italy, and they have been responsible for many crimes, some horrendous. But what do you expect when you admit thousands of young men who arrive on your shores illegally, and you don’t even know who they are?

Raped in a cemetery by a Nigerian who had already been in jail for rape

29-year-old attacked in Brescia by an African already jailed for raping a woman

A 29-year-old raped in a cemetery by a Nigerian already convicted for the same crime. This is what occurred in the Vantiniano Garden, the monumental cemetery of Brescia, where a girl was attacked by an African on Monday evening.

The incident occurred around 2200 hours when a woman reportedly went to via (street) Milano, probably to find drugs. The only person present in the area, however, was reportedly the 24-year-old rapist, who instead of giving her what she requested, reportedly lured her and dragged her with him to the cemetery entrance in order to tear off her clothes. The cries of the defenseless (girl) were not enough to keep the man from raping and robbing her.  

In those moments, in fact, nobody was aware of anything. Not even the residents of the area, who usually walk their dogs after dinner. It was fortunate that just a few minutes after the incident, a local Brescia police patrol car was passing by and found the young woman semi-nude and in tears crying for help, (and) immediately went into action looking for the one who had reduced her to this condition. Thanks to detailed information furnished by the victim and the quickness of the action, the officers, luckily, were able to stop the serial rapist a few hundred meters from the cemetery.

The young man, hiding his face under a cap in order to not be recognized, was immediately stopped and taken to jail awaiting trial. Meanwhile, several previous crimes have been discovered. The (non EU) foreigner, in fact, had reportedly already been in prison for having raped a woman in a similar manner to what happened at the Vantiniano Garden.

Meanwhile, the 29-year-old was transported to the hospital for the required checks. What remains, however, is the concern of the community, who never would have expected what happened, considering among other things, that it concerns a non (EU) citizen already imprisoned for rape. There are several people, in fact, who have asked on social media for the area to be made safer, which from dusk on, has reportedly become more of an attractive place for dealers and those with bad intentions.
