Police have now arrested seven young Egyptian migrants – four adults and three minors, aged between 15 and 19.
Investigators say the victim and her boyfriend, 17, were attacked by a pack on January 30 while they were walking in Villa Bellini park around 7.30pm in the city of Catania on the eastern Sicilian coast.
The boy was then beaten and allegedly held and forced to watch while at least two suspects allegedly raped a 13-year-old girl in a public toilet.
The couple eventually managed to escape to safety.
The victim was later able to identify two of the minor boys, but not the remaining five as she stated, “I didn’t see their faces, I don’t want to accuse the innocent.”
Her boyfriend identified the other five suspects.
One of the seven tried to escape from the city, but the police caught him, reports Ansa.
The investigation is ongoing, and the suspect will appear in court soon.
The crime sparked outrage across Italy, with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni saying: “It seems to me that on the day when a very young martyr of the Christian tradition is celebrated [Sant’Agata]we should see another very young victim of sexual violence.”
“I want to say this to express my solidarity with her and her family. The state will be there and justice will be served,” she added during a visit to Catania.
Don’t come and talk to me about ‘tolerance’ or ‘error’
Matteo Salvini, Deputy Prime Minister
The deputy prime minister, Matteo Salvini, said: “The girl was raped by a group of seven Egyptians in front of her boyfriend, who was threatened, blocked and kept away.
“Don’t come to me and talk about ‘tolerance’ or ‘error'”.
Italian MP Matilda Siracusano added: “We expect those responsible for this crime – all of whom have already been identified – to pay for what they have done.
“There is no justification for what happened, this kind of anger from children, even minors, is unimaginable. My sincere and sincere solidarity with the victim, her family and her boyfriend who was beaten and immobilized by the pack.”
