According to a report in BILD, Nalbandian installed a camera in the apartment they lived in Palermo, Italy, after their split to monitor her. "The horror was indescribable. He not only watched me, but could also see me naked," she said in the indictment, the report claimed.

She had reported the incident to the police, but lack of evidence saw charges being dropped. However, Torrado and her lawyers showed audio recordings and messages which led to Nalbandian admitting to filming her. He is likely to be sued by his ex-partner if found guilty.
