A man has been arrested over the kidnap of his ex-girlfriend after he allegedly forced her into his home - and ordered her to do the ironing.
一名男子因為綁架前女友被捕，據說他強迫前女友回他家，還命令她燙衣服。
The 43-year-old Italian apparently dragged the woman out of a bar in the port city of Genoa in the north of the country and pushed her into his car, before taking her back to his house.
這名43歲義大利人顯然將這名女子從該國北部港都熱內亞的酒吧拖出來，將她推入車內，然後把她帶回他的家中。
