A Romanian woman risks 26 years in prison in Spain, being accused of executing her Italian boyfriend, the son of a Calabrian mafia boss, 'Ndrangheta.

The Romanian woman is accused of killing her boyfriend, Giuseppe Nirta, in Ãguilas, Murcia region, in 2017, then claiming that he was executed by a stranger who was waiting for him in the yard of their house. Subsequently, all the evidence gathered indicated her, and the woman was arrested. She spent a year and a half in pre-trial detention, after which she was released.
In addition to the 26 years in prison, the prosecutor's office demands that the woman pay the court costs and compensation of 200,000 euros for the mother of the deceased. In turn, the Nirta family is demanding 500,000 euros in compensation.
At the time of the murder, Cristina Elena T. said that an unknown person was waiting for them in the yard of the house, and when they got out of the car, her partner was shot from behind, several times, while she managed to escape.
But all the evidence contradicted her, and after the reconstruction the forensic scientists said that, given the position in which the body was found, Giuseppe Nirta was taken by surprise and did not have the impulse to flee, as would have happened. if he was targeted by an assassin. Moreover, after the murder, Cristina called the victim's phone to an acquaintance and announced that Giuseppe had been killed, and not the Police, as any person in such a situation would have instinctively done.
Following forensic examinations, traces of gunpowder were identified on the clothes the woman wore on the day of the murder. However, she still claims she is innocent.
To rule out any suspicion, the Forensic Service used state-of-the-art techniques, according to the quoted source.
Giuseppe Nirta's father is a prominent member of the Ndrangheta mafia clan, who was arrested in Italy in 2008 for murder.
