Salvini beats everyone and sees first the jeweler Mario Roggero in prison: He is well, I would be proud to be able to nominate him

Mario Roggero, a 72-year-old jeweler from Grinzane Cavour, has begun his first night in prison after being sentenced to over 14 years for killing two robbers who were fleeing. The case has drawn attention from Matteo Salvini, secretary of the League, who visited Roggero at the Bollate prison shortly after his arrest. Salvini expressed pride in potentially running Roggero as a candidate for the League, stating they are examining all legal aspects. He also emphasized the need to expand the concept of self-defense, referencing legislation introduced by the League during the 2019 government under Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte. During their meeting, Salvini reported that Roggero is doing well and remains calm despite the challenges of starting prison life. Salvini reiterated that Roggero believes he was unfairly treated and that he agrees with this view. Meanwhile, Roggero’s wife has requested clemency, which Salvini said would be considered by the President of the Republic.

Mario Roggero, the ultimately condemned jeweler

Mario Roggero, a 72-year-old jeweler from Cuneo, has received a final order of imprisonment for killing two robbers and wounding another during an attack on his jewelry store on April 28, 2021. The sentence was initially 17 years at first instance, reduced to 14 years and nine months on appeal and confirmed by the Supreme Court. Roggero’s brother expressed gratitude for the support he received during the legal process but noted the emotional toll of the verdict. His lawyers stated they were disappointed with the outcome and mentioned plans to file an appeal to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. Local authorities and community members criticized the severity of the sentence, emphasizing Roggero’s history of honesty and hard work. Earlier in 2007, Roggero had pleaded guilty to aggravated threats involving a firearm against the boyfriend of his daughter.

Mario Roggero, a 72-year-old jeweler, faces a final verdict after being convicted of killing two robbers and wounding a third during an armed robbery at his shop in April 2021. The Supreme Court of Cassation has requested confirmation of his 14-year-and-9-month sentence, which was reduced from an initial 17 years by the appellate court. Roggero claims he acted in self-defense to protect his wife and daughter, but the appellate judges ruled that the shooting occurred after the threat had passed, as the robbers were fleeing. His defense is appealing this decision before the Supreme Court. A video recording of the incident, including the robbery and the subsequent gunfire, is part of the evidence. Roggero has also launched a fundraising campaign to cover legal costs and compensation for the victims' families.
