ItalyA 21-year-old man who killed a 31-year-old man over a pair of wireless earbuds worth €14 has been granted a restorative justice program by the Court of Milan, despite opposition from the victim's family. The court upheld his 27-year prison sentence for the 2024 murder but allowed him to participate in a rehabilitation process aimed at social reintegration. The decision was described as 'the last institutional opportunity' for the perpetrator to take responsibility for his actions, though he remains unable to fully accept accountability.
