Cucchi case, convictions confirmed in the Supreme Court: 12 years to the carabinieri

For the Cucchi case there is a definitive verdict. 13 years after the death of Stefano Cucchi. The carabinieri Alessio Di Bernardo and Raffaele D’Alessandro they were sentenced to 12 years in prison, one less than the previous sentence, that of the appeal. They are the two men held responsible for the boy’s death. Instead, the process for the marshal must be redone Roberto Mandolini and for Francesco Tedesco, both accused of having lied about what happened on the night between 15 and 16 October 2009 in the Casilina barracks, when Cucchi was stopped, found with a few grams of drugs.

The prosecution, with the deputy attorney general of the Cassation Tomaso Epidendio, had asked for confirmation of the sentences to 13 years in prison, for manslaughter, for the carabinieri Alessio Di Bernardo and Raffaele D’Alessandro. For Mandolini the request was instead of four years for forgery. For him a new appeal as for Francesco Tedescowho told, after years, what had happened.

The deputy prosecutor said in the courtroom: “It was a nocturnal Via Crucis that of Stefano Cucchi, carried from one station to another, and all the people who came into contact with him after the beating were impressed by his condition: it is a large number of subjects including nurses, escort personnel, inmates, guard officers. Can we really believe that this impressive number of subjects has conspired against the carabinieri?“.

Already in the verdict of the Appeal all the brutality suffered by Cucchi was written: “the violent ways in which the beating to the detriment of the arrested, frail in the physical structure, they express a modality in the action that has “transounded” the simple intention of reacting to the mere resistance opposed to the execution of the photo-signaling ».

In a few days the trial on misdirections in which eight other carabinieri are involved should also come to an end. The end of the Cucchi family’s ordeal, in particular his sister Ilaria, and the lawyer Fabio Anselmo. “Fifteen degrees of judgment, more than 150 hearings. It is an exhausting story, we are exhausted but we have come this far and we have always had faith in the truth, “said the lawyer.
