Roggero in prison, Boldrini takes it with the League and FDI: "Indecent looting"

Laura Boldrini, presidente del Comitato permanente della Camera sui diritti umani nel mondo, ha criticato duramente il centrodestra per la sua presunta manipolazione della vicenda di Mario Roggero, un gioielliere condannato a 14 anni e 9 mesi di reclusione per omicidio doloso plurimo e tentato omicidio. Secondo Boldrini, i leader del centrodestra, tra cui Matteo Salvini e Giorgia Meloni, stanno usando il caso per alimentare la propaganda sulla sicurezza e speculare su Vannacci, un politico accusato di corruzione. Lei sostiene che la legge sulla legittima difesa, voluta da Salvini, è stata utilizzata dai giudici per arrivare alla sentenza di condanna di Roggero. Boldrini ha anche accusato il centrodestra di cercare di influenzare il Capo dello Stato per ottenere la grazia. Al tempo stesso, la vicenda di Roggero, che ha visto tre criminali entrare nella sua gioielleria e ucciderne due, rimane centrale ma viene vista come un pretesto per attacchi politici.

He killed two bandits, condemned the jeweler Mario Roggero

Mario Roggero, a 72-year-old jeweler from Grinzane Cuneo, has been definitively sentenced to 14 years and nine months in prison for killing two robbers and injuring a third during an armed robbery at his shop on April 28, 2021. The Supreme Court’s first penal section rejected his defense’s appeal, upholding the earlier verdict from Turin’s Court of Assize of Appeal. Roggero shot the robbers after they had already fled, using a toy gun and a knife while chasing them in the parking lot. His lawyers stated he would surrender immediately but did not specify where he would go next. In a final video appeal posted on Facebook, Roggero expressed exhaustion over the prolonged legal process and thanked supporters for their support. Matteo Salvini, Italy’s Deputy Prime Minister and leader of the League, publicly appealed to President Sergio Mattarella for clemency, calling the sentence unjust and arguing that Roggero acted in self-defense.

The Roggero family barricaded in the villa of La Morra: "We feel bad after what happened"

The family of Mario Roggero, a jeweler based in La Morra, Cuneo, has been isolated in their villa following recent legal proceedings. The family members expressed emotional distress, stating they are unable to speak publicly about the situation. Mario Roggero’s brother claimed that at the time in question, Mario was not capable of understanding or willing actions.

No suspension of sentence for Roggero, he stays in prison

Mario Roggero, a jeweler from Grinzane Cavour, remains in prison after the Office of Surveillance in Turin rejected his request to defer his incarceration. Roggero was sentenced to 14 years and nine months for killing two robbers and wounding a third during a 2021 robbery at his shop in Cuneo. The magistrate Elena Massucco stated there were no urgent or necessary circumstances to justify deferring his imprisonment. Roggero’s daughter, Laura, expressed hope for alternative solutions such as house arrest or clemency, considering his age. The case has been forwarded to the Turin Supervision Court, which will make a final decision based on the Supreme Court’s July 15 ruling on Roggero’s appeal.

Mario Roggero remains in prison: court refuses to defer sentence

Mario Roggero, a jeweler convicted of killing two robbers and wounding a third in 2021 in the Cuneese region, remains in prison after the Office of Supervision in Turin rejected his request to delay his release. The magistrate overseeing the case, Elena Massucco, stated there were no urgent or necessary circumstances to justify the postponement of his sentence. The case files have been forwarded to the Supervisory Court and the Public Prosecutor’s Office in Turin and Milan. Roggero’s defense lawyer had requested the deferral pending a potential pardon by President Sergio Mattarella, which his wife described as effectively a life sentence for their family. However, Massucco clarified that the Supreme Court of Cassation considers such deferrals applicable only if the sentence has not yet begun, which is not the case here. Prosecution chief Marcello Viola urged people to 'lower the tone' regarding attacks on judges involved in the case.

President Sergio Mattarella has expressed his belief that the legal process regarding the three verdicts against Roberto Roggero is valid.
