Catanzaro prosecutors have opened a
criminal probe into the case of a young black woman who was
allegedly attacked by an employer after asking for payment for
work she has done as a dishwasher at his restaurant/beach
establishment.
The 25-year-old woman, whose name is Beauty Davis, broadcast the
incident in which she appears to get slapped live on social
media via her telephone.
Afterwards Davis filed a complaint to Carabinieri police, saying
she had physically assaulted.
The 53-year-old owner of the establishment in the Calabrian town
of Soverato is being probed for causing personal injury, theft
and issuing threats, sources said.
Job offers have been pouring in for the victim, who is from
Nigeria and has a young daughter, her lawyer said on Thursday.
"Lots of jobs offers came to me for Beauty just hours after the
news broke and they are multiplying," said lawyer Filomena
Pedullà.
"It's a chorus of solidarity, including offers to start
immediately, coming not just from this area but from all over
Calabria".
