Media: A Georgian caregiver has been arrested in Naples for drugging a couple’s soup to put them to sleep, subsequently stealing €50,000 in cash and gold jewelry worth €100,000

Italian media report that a Georgian caregiver has been arrested in Naples.

According to the publication *Il Riformista*, a 53-year-old Georgian woman began working as a caregiver for a couple—both over the age of 70—in a Naples household this June, but she disappeared just a few days later.

Investigators state that the suspect stole €50,000 in cash and gold jewelry valued at €100,000 from the family. Reports indicate that, prior to the theft, the woman prepared a soup into which she had mixed a substance intended to put the couple to sleep.

The publication notes that the investigation spanned several months, and police were finally able to locate the suspect last week. Upon the arrest, a bottle containing the same narcotic substance that forensic analysis had detected in the victims' soup was found in the suspect's possession. Additionally, the detainee was carrying a forged identification document registered in someone else's name.

The court remanded the detainee in custody.
