A self-styled 'Ethiopian princess' was
found guilty Thursday of stalking her ex boyfriend and
Paralympic swimming medallist Manuel Bortuzzo.
The woman, Lucrezia Hailé Selassiè, got a suspended term of one
year and eight months in jail for stalking Bortuzzo, who won a
bronze medal in the men's 100 m breaststroke SB4 in Paris last
year.
Bortuzzo, 25, was left paralysed from the waist down in a
shooting incident outside a Rome pub in February 2019, in which
he was an innocent bystander.
Sealassiè was found guilty of having stalked Bortuzzo for
months, going as far as threatening to kill him if he did not
return to her.
