  • Courts.Arcuri announces measures against Juana Rivas after the last complaint about child abuse

Juana Rivas, the mother of Granada convicted of child abduction after not returning Father Francesco Arcuri to her 13 and 5-year-old children in the summer of 2017, runs out the last cartridges to prevent children from returning to Italy on Wednesday with the parent.

The Audiencia of Granada has ruled, in a car known on Tuesday, against the mother's claim that the Spanish justice investigated the new complaint filed at the end of July against Arcuri for alleged ill-treatment of her children in Italy , in which He also demanded precautionary measures to protect the father's minors.

As the alleged ill-treatment denounced again by Juana Rivas occurred in Italy, the Spanish justice is not competent either to investigate them or to agree on any kind of precautionary measure. The Court of Instruction 3 of Granada said it at the beginning of August in a decision that now ratifies the Hearing and against which there is no recourse .

In a car to which EL MUNDO had access, the Audience of Granada charges against the "unused claim" of Juana Rivas, which "could never be estimated, by manifestly exceeding the functions that correspond to an appellate court." It alleges that "it is clear that the competent criminal jurisdiction for the adoption of this type of measures is that which has it for the investigation and prosecution of the crime", which is not the "Spanish criminal jurisdiction", but the Italian one, "must be the recurring to what the Italian authority may decide, to whom it is appropriate to know the complaint ".

The Hearing states that, according to the mother's complaint, the father's alleged ill-treatment of his children would have occurred in three successive episodes : on May 29, another "undetermined" day and on June 6, 2019. "Juana Rivas would have learned from the" children themselves as soon as they were picked up, when they were handed over by the father on June 7 "to spend the summer holidays with her.

The resolution indicates that the facts would have been committed in Italian territory, so that the Spanish jurisdiction would not be competent to know it, nor would other requirements legally provided .

Enrique Zambrano , the lawyer of Francesco Arcuri, has announced measures against Juana Rivas after the last complaint he described as a "defense strategy" of the mother in this process to justify a possible pardon , if the conviction against her of five is finally confirmed years in prison for child abduction.

The lawyer has lamented "the damage" that is being done to children , who are followed up by Social Services in Italy and has maintained that "the only cause of their discomfort is their mother", in line with the above by the expert who analyzed his case during the process to decide on custody, which has been granted exclusively to the father.

Board Center

Meanwhile, the Board analyzes the documents provided by Juana Rivas so that the Andalusian Administration takes care of their children and enters them in a reception center before they return with their former partner and father of the children.

Sources of the Andalusian Government have informed Efe that the legal cabinet and technical services of the Ministry of Equality, Social Policies and Conciliation are analyzing the petition formalized Monday by Rivas.

In a brief, Rivas, who has accused his former partner of mistreating the two children they have in common, has requested the Board to guard children when they interpret that there is a "serious risk to their physical and psychological integrity ."

The Board has detailed that it is a "delicate" petition that affects two minors and that the professionals of the Ministry are studying the information provided by Rivas together with the petition for guardianship of the minors.
