Building explosion in Turin, former security guard sentenced to 27 years

In Italy, Giovanni Zippo, a former security guard, was sentenced to 27 years in prison by the Turin Assize Court for causing an explosion on June 30, 2025, which resulted in the death of 33-year-old Jacopo Peretti and injured others. The court convicted him of voluntary homicide, disaster, and personal injuries. Prosecutors had requested a 25-year sentence, arguing that Zippo set fire to his ex-fiancee’s apartment using gasoline, leading to the explosion. During the trial, Zippo's defense argued for excluding the aggravating factor of trivial motives, seeking a reduced sentence through abbreviated proceedings. The victim's father, Paolo Peretti, praised the verdict, while Zippo's mother expressed concern over the severity of the sentence, noting that her son had a stable life and job before the incident.

Blast in Turin, Giovanni Zippo sentenced to 27 years: he had set fire to the house of his ex-wife, killing a tenant

Giovanni Zippo, un ex guardia giurata di 41 anni, è stato condannato a 27 anni di reclusione dalla Corte d’Assise di Torino per l’esplosione avvenuta il 30 giugno 2025 in una palazzina di via Nizza. L’incidente ha causato la morte di Jacopo Peretti, un uomo di 33 anni, e ha fatto rimanere feriti altri occupanti. Zippo era accusato di omicidio volontario, disastro e lesioni personali. L’accusa, rappresentata dalle procure Chiara Canepa e Emilio Gatti, aveva richiesto una pena di 25 anni, sostenendo che Zippo aveva appiccato deliberatamente il fuoco nell’appartamento della sua ex fidanzata usando della benzina.
