In Catania, Italy, a court sentenced two Moroccan men, Marof Hamza and Arsab Marvan, to seven years and two months in prison each for sexually assaulting two Hungarian tourists last year. A third man, Barsan Sufian, received a seven-year and four-month sentence.
The men attacked the women after meeting them on the Catania beach and driving them to their lodging. The court found the men guilty of gang rape, as well as possession and forced consumption of drugs.
The defendants, who were in Italy as undocumented immigrants and earning money by picking prickly pears, committed the crimes on August 27, 2025. The women were able to alert authorities when one of them texted her brother with details about the vehicle. Police arrested the men in Paternò, near Catania, after the brother contacted them with the vehicle’s license plate.
Prosecutor Sebastiano Ardita stated that the sentences require the men to serve time in either Italy or their country of origin, provided that country will guarantee the full sentence is completed. Ardita also emphasized that Italian authorities prioritize prosecuting sexual violence.
