Fifteen arrested for sexual abuse and mistreatment of patients in an Italian psychiatric clinic

A total of 15 people, including nurses and other health professionals, were arrested for sexual abuse and mistreatment of patients at the Don Uva psychiatric clinic in Foggia, in the Puglia region of southern Italy.

The investigations, which began last summer after some complaints, revealed, thanks to the use of cameras, the continuous ill-treatment, beatings and even sexual abuse suffered by patients admitted to the center, the Italian military police have now reported.

The crimes attributed to the detainees, including nurses and assistants, are aggravated abuse, kidnapping and sexual violence against at least 25 patients.

The victims are patients admitted to the long-stay female psychiatric ward and are all between the ages of 40 and 60.

In addition to the searches in the homes of the detainees, the clinic was also searched, but so far those responsible for the center have not been investigated.

The investigations began in June 2022, due to the suspicion that a professional had had sexual relations with two patients, and after the cameras were placed, it was discovered that the patients suffered humiliation, insults and beatings on a daily basis.
