Shady provincial scandal, marshal under investigation: who is the lover (and father) of the children?
An extramarital affair , two children , and an alleged false declaration of paternity have become the subject of a judicial investigation. This case involves a Carabinieri marshal, under investigation by the Rimini Public Prosecutor's Office for two counts of altering her marital status. According to the prosecution, as reported by Rai News , the woman allegedly indicated her husband, also a soldier, as the children's father, despite being aware of the possibility that the biological parent was another man : a superior officer with whom she had allegedly had a romantic relationship.
The contested facts date back to 2023 and 2025, the years in which the two children were born.
The investigation into the children's paternity: searches and seized devices
According to the reconstructions published by various newspapers, including Fanpage.it and ANSA , the relationship would have taken place when the non-commissioned officer held the role of commander of the station where the marshal served.
The case has taken on a judicial dimension after doubts emerged about the children's paternity. According to Corriere della Sera , genetic tests have ruled out the husband's being the biological father , but the investigative framework remains to be clarified.
In recent weeks, Carabinieri officers from the Turin Investigative Unit conducted searches of the staff quarters and barracks where the woman and her former commander currently work. During the operations, cell phones and computers were reportedly seized , which will be examined to reconstruct communications between the individuals involved and determine how much they knew about the possible biological paternity of the minors.
The Marshal is charged with the crimes under Articles 48, 81, and 567, paragraph 2, of the Criminal Code, alleging alteration of marital status through false statements made to the public official responsible for issuing birth certificates. She is currently the only suspect. Further investigations will clarify the circumstances of the incident and any liability. It is therefore important to remember that these charges are still being examined by investigators and that the officer's position will be assessed during the proceedings.
