How Italian Police Arrested My Husband On False Charges

 By Wendy Igwema

It all happened one morning, 4am to be precise, on the 28th of October 2020. We were just waking up from sleep in our home in Torino.  Suddenly there was a knock on the door. When I opened I saw about nine Italian policemen. One of them was a woman.  I asked them what they wanted. ‘We want to take your husband in for questioning’ one of them said to me. They said they were arresting him on mafia-related crimes in Italy. They proceeded to search the entire apartment and they did not find what they were looking for.

As they took my husband away, I requested to go with them to their station but they refused, saying that all they want is to interview him. They said they would let him go afterwards. Before they took him away, my husband called his lawyer, and told him about the presence of the police in our house. He advised that we closely watch them so they wouldn’t plant anything in our house. We did so.
