Like many other cases of femicide, Nicoleta Rotaru's case has also received a significant number of reports: ten.

According to D.i.Re – Donne in Rete contro la violenza, which has joined the civil action, demonstrates how useless laws are when there is a lack of training and awareness regarding male violence against women.

"This trial should never have taken place. Nicoleta Rotaru had filed a complaint ten times and the Carabinieri methodically downplayed the facts.” says Aurora d'Agostino, criminal lawyer who represented D.i.Re - Women on the Net against violence. "Even when faced with crimes that could be prosecuted ex officio, the police did not consider it important to proceed" continues d'Agostino "This trial promptly reveals everything that is still broken in the anti-violence system: law enforcement and social services lacking specific expertise, who failed to recognize violence and who failed to protect this woman; in fact, Nicoleta Rotaru tried to defend herself alone, even recording many of the violence she suffered at the hands of those who ultimately killed her.” concludes the lawyer.

The €15.000 awarded to D.i.Re – Donne in Rete contro la violenza will be used by the association to promote training activities for professionals who must manage situations of male violence against women.
