Italian Man’s Penis Severed by Wife Sparks Legal Action Over Leaked Hospital Images

In early May, a 35-year-old Bangladeshi man living in Angri, a town in the province of Salerno, Campania, was drugged by his wife while he slept. While he was unconscious, the wife used a kitchen knife to cut off his penis. Paramedics arrived, placed the severed organ on ice, and transported the victim to a local hospital. Surgeons determined that reattachment was impossible. The man remained in a hospital bed while the incident was investigated.

A Carabinieri team led by Commander Gianfranco Albanese, together with local prosecutor Gianluca Caputo, arrested the wife on charges of attempted murder and began a broader inquiry. Police also examined the victim’s last meal to assess whether the drugging was pre-meditated. In parallel, lawyers Angelo and Sergio Pisani announced a criminal-civil complaint aimed at identifying the unknown individuals who photographed the patient and his sealed medical bag and subsequently disseminated the images online.

Angelo Pisani, who also offers pro-bono representation, described the case as “a case of unprecedented violence” and emphasized that “this kind of violence must always be condemned, regardless of who committed it.” The statement underscores broader concerns about domestic abuse and the exploitation of victims’ privacy in the digital age.

Sources do not specify how the photographs left the hospital environment, nor do they detail the security measures in place at the facility. The wife’s motive beyond the alleged drugging remains unconfirmed, and no official comment from the hospital has been provided.

The Pisani lawyers will pursue the filed complaint to identify and prosecute the image-disseminators. The Carabinieri investigation into the attempted-murder charge continues, and the victim’s legal team is prepared to seek civil damages against any parties found responsible for the privacy breach.
