SloveniaA former Croatian actress and journalist was sentenced to prison for prolonged domestic violence against her mother. The victim described being beaten, choked, bitten, and threatened with having her head 'torn off' if she did not give money for alcohol. The perpetrator consumed up to four liters of wine daily and had a history of violent outbursts while intoxicated. She was arrested twice before finally being convicted in May 2026 for attempted serious injury. The court imposed a one-and-a-half-year sentence, with six months in custody and the remainder as conditional probation. The defendant claimed her mother suffered from hallucinations and dementia and that their relationship was strained, but the court rejected these claims as excuses for the abuse.
