By Tiziana Di Giovannandrea 05 April 2019 Inspectors sent by the Ministry will arrive in Turin to understand what may have happened and why the perpetrator of the murder on the banks of the Po di Stefano Leo, definitively sentenced to 18 months in prison, was instead free.

Said Mechaquat, the confessed perpetrator of the assassination, an Italian of Moroccan origin, should have been in prison to serve his sentence for aggravated mistreatment and family injuries to his ex-partner. This is a sentence issued on June 20, 2016 and became final in the Court of Appeal on April 18, 2018.

Something, however, has jammed in the bureaucratic procedure, probably due to a delay in communication between the Prosecutor and the Court Registry. However, the sentence was not carried out and the 27 year old Mechaquat was at the Murazzi on February 23 and killed the 33 year old Stefano Leo.

The Minister of Justice Alfonso Bonafede replying to those who asked him if the inspectors of the Ministry will arrive in Turin after the murder of the young Stefano Leo replied that: "The inspectorate of the Ministry was activated as quickly as possible to verify what happened ".
