Bibbiano Child Welfare Scandal: Prosecutors Seek Over 11 Years for Former Social Services Director
Key figures in the 'Angels and Demons' investigation face severe penalties as legal proceedings continue.
In a significant development in Italy's 'Angels and Demons' investigation, prosecutors in Reggio Emilia have requested a sentence of over 11 years for Federica Anghinolfi, the former director of social services.
This demand is part of a broader prosecution involving 14 defendants linked to alleged illegal child custody practices in Bibbiano, a town in northern Italy.
Alongside Anghinolfi, the prosecution has also called for substantial penalties for key figures including social worker Francesco Monopoli and psychotherapist Nadia Bolognini.
The inquiry centers around claims of misuse of child custody arrangements, with allegations that social services acted improperly when placing children with foster families.
The case has garnered national attention and raised concerns about the integrity of welfare practices in Italy.
The accusations detail instances where the decisions made by social workers were said to be driven by personal interests rather than the welfare of the children involved.
Prosecutors argue that the actions of the accused not only violated legal protocols but also caused emotional and psychological harm to the children and families involved.
The trial has presented a complex web of testimonies and evidence reflecting the impact of these alleged practices on the lives of numerous children and their biological families.
As proceedings unfold, the case continues to evoke strong public sentiment and debate regarding child welfare practices and the responsibilities of social services in Italy.
The final sentencing for those convicted is yet to be determined as the legal process progresses.
