Care Worker at Parabiago Nursing Home Arrested Over Alleged Abuse of Two Residents

Prosecutors moved after a family complaint, with hidden cameras capturing alleged assaults.

Overview

  • The suspect, identified as Mario Julio T. Q., a 46-year-old Peruvian health aide, was placed under house arrest by Judge Anna Giorgetti.
  • Investigators say the victims, aged 79 and 87, are non-self-sufficient residents of the municipal Albergo del nonno facility in Parabiago.
  • Footage recorded during the probe shows groping, simulated sex acts, slaps, shoves, and insults during cleaning and changing routines.
  • The inquiry by Carabinieri in Legnano, directed by Busto Arsizio prosecutor Nadia Calcaterra, produced evidence described as exceptionally grave.
  • The case began after relatives reported bruises and lacerations on an 87-year-old resident, including an August ER visit for facial and neck contusions and what they described as evasive staff explanations.
