Juana Rivas's lawyers announce that they will ask for protection measures for their child in Italy

The children of Juana Rivas, whose 11 -year -old son, has been delivered this Friday to the father, the Italian Francesco Arcuri, who has his custody, have announced that they will now transfer their legal struggle to Italy, where custody is appealed, and will ask for protection measures there.

In a statement, the legal team of Juana Rivas, led by Carlos Aránguez, has indicated that Daniel has been delivered to his father although it was “Condemned for gender violence in Spain” And he is accused by the Italian prosecutor of family abuse, a trial he will face on September 18 in Italy.

In that trial, he adds, Daniel, along with his older brother, Gabriel, 19, is one of the two main witnesses. “It seems incredible for an 11 -year -old boy to arrive at the court of his father accused of mistreating him,”adds the legal team, which argues that they will not give up “never”: “Now our fight moves to Italy.”

And this because, they remember, the decision on custody is appealed to the Italian Supreme Court, which already revoked Cagliari’s decision. They will also ask the Italian Prosecutor to adopt the appropriate protection measures. “Over time, Daniel will be able to tell in the first person all the suffering that this situation has generated, as did his brother Gabriel when he reached the age of majority,” the statement concludes.

The Act of Delivery It has been carried out in judicial headquarters and with more privacy than on Tuesday’s first datewhen the huge media stir and the moments of tension lived in the family meeting point in which the exchange was initially set to the judge of first instance 3 of Granada to postpone it with greater conditions of intimacy and security by recommendation of the specialists who attended the child.
