The profiles of the two arrested for group violence on New Year’s Eve. Abdallah Bouguedra, 21, lives in the Barca district of Turin, he left the university to work on a construction site. Mahmoud Ibrahim, 18, lives in Dergano (Milan): arrived in Italy in 2019, he lives with some Egyptian compatriots
Barca district, far north of Turin. Dergano, Milanese suburbs. Humble but dignified houses. “Good guys”, “workers”, the family describe them. Before New Year’s Eve, there would be no other points of contact in the lives of 21 year old Abdallah Bouguedra and 18 year old Mahmoud Ibrahim . Second generation, Abdallah, born in the Piedmontese capital of Moroccan parents. An Egyptian in Italy for a couple of years, Mahmoud. In Piazza Duomo, a handful of frames capture them close together. One has a shiny red puffer jacket with distinctive wavy stitching. The other, a dark jacket from which the fluorescent green hood of the sweatshirt emerges. They are both in the crowd on the abused 19-year-old student behind the monument to Vittorio Emanuele II , isolated and overwhelmed by the group. These are the images from the first video of the violence that night. Facial recognition software has given a name to each of those faces taken from the videos. The searches the other day made it possible to find the clothes. The victims recognized them in the photos. Both were arrested on charges of gang rape, aggravated injury and robbery . According to the investigators, they showed a “marked danger”. There is a possibility that they pollute the evidence. And the risk of escape – given the contacts with their countries of origin – suggested taking them to the prison of Ivrea, one of them, of San Vittore, the other. (here the reports of the victims).
Who is Abdallah Bouguedra
The diploma, the enrollment at the university, then the choice to abandon the studies to work on the construction site: Abdallah is one of the group of Turinese who arrived in Milan for the celebrations . The sculpted physique, the passion for the gym, the bleached hair. In the attack on the 19-year-old, Abdallah would be the boy who tries the first heavy, insistent, annoying approach. He follows her, wants her phone number, prevents her from leaving, puts his arm around her shoulders. These are the moments before the assault of the group. During the abuse, the victim remembers him on his left. A witness sees him tearing her clothes off, yanking her, yelling: “The girl, the girl”.
Who is Mahmoud Ibrahim
Mahmoud is also in the square, with at least a couple of friends, compatriots. During the 19-year-old violence, videos and testimonies identify him in the group on the victim. For the prosecution he also participates in another case of abuse, half an hour earlier . It’s the one near the entrance to the Gallery. Same dynamic, and this time it is the Egyptian boy who plays the role played by Abdallah in the other episode. In the story of the victims, he is the first to go under, to bother the group of four friends. And once rejected, he is the one who summons the group that surrounds them, steals their cell phone and purse, and attacks them. In front of the investigating judge, Mahmoud declared his extraneousness. The girls «I only saw them in the distance», surrounded by others: «I didn’t do anything, I didn’t touch them. I just looked at what was happening ». Then, “frightened” he would have gone. Mahmoud arrives alone in Italy in the summer of 2019 . She was still a minor at the time.
A year and a half ago he presented himself at the House of Charity. He needs help to renew the residence permit that expires with the transition to majority age. He needs support for the bureaucratic process, but also a place to indicate to communicate with the public administration: they offer him a home. At that time he said he did not have a permanent home. He comes from Lecco, says he has found a job – plasterer – and a temporary accommodation in the city with some compatriots. Investigators on Tuesday are also struggling to track him down. In recent months it had been checked in the center. But there are no royal residences . They find him on the street. It is undocumented. They are accompanied to their father’s house for the search. “My son is a good boy, he has a clean record, a worker”, is the defense of his father Ahmed, “he suffered, he lost a brother three months ago.” “That evening he went out with friends to have fun, I’m sure – he swears – that he’s innocent and that everything will be cleared up”.
