Francesco Arcuri to Stand Trial September 18 as Courts Order Juana Rivas to Hand Over Son July 22

A new tribunal in Italy will review four complaints filed by Juana Rivas against her ex-partner, Francesco Arcuri, who is scheduled to stand trial in Cagliari, Sardinia, on September 18 for alleged mistreatment of their two children. Despite these allegations, both Italian and Spanish courts have confirmed custody of the younger child to Arcuri. The child, who had been residing in Italy, stayed in Spain with Rivas following the Christmas holidays, but she sought legal permission to keep him in Spain. However, a Spanish court in Granada has ordered Juana Rivas to hand over the child to Arcuri on July 22 at 10 a.m. The decision has been contested by Rivas, who questions the legality of transferring custody to a parent facing abuse charges. The case continues to unfold amid ongoing legal proceedings in both Italy and Spain.
