December 23, 2021 The Rome Public Prosecutor has asked for the conviction of the eight carabinieri accused in the trial on the alleged misdirections implemented after the death of Stefano Cucchi.



The prosecutor requested 7 years for General Alessandro Casarsa, while 5 and a half years were requested for Francesco Cavallo. Five years for Luciano Soligo and Luca De Cianni, four years for Tiziano Testarmata, three years and three months for Francesco Di Sano. Three years in prison for Lorenzo Sabatino and, finally, a year and a month for Massimiliano Colombo Labriola.



"An entire country has been mocked for six years", said the prosecutor Giovanni Musarò in the indictment at the end of which he asked for the sentence for the 8 carabinieri accused in the trial on the alleged misdirections linked to the death of Stefano Cucchi, beaten in the barracks after the arrest of the night between 15 and 16 October 2009 and died six days later at the Pertini hospital.



The prosecutor highlighted the "unacceptable interference" on the medico-legal reports, the "intimidation" exercised on those who told the truth during the investigation. The magistrate also wanted to remember Judge Giulia Cavallone, who was the first to deal with the trial until his premature death, in April 2020. The indictment, concluded today, had begun in the hearing on 17 December.
