Overview
- Judge Alberto Carboni cleared Marco Granelli and municipal officials of responsibility, ruling that “the fact does not exist” in cases tied to two 2023 cyclist fatalities.
- Cristina Scozia, 39, was killed on April 20, 2023 near via Francesco Sforza and corso di Porta Vittoria, and Veronica D’Incà, 38, died on February 1, 2023 in the Loreto area.
- Prosecutors Mauro Clerici and Barbara Benzi had sought convictions, asserting that bike-lane signage was contradictory and confusing, and they had seized the assessor’s emails during the probe.
- Truck driver Carlo Nicola Francesco Citterio accepted a two-year plea deal over the Scozia crash, while driver Jury Morganti was ordered to stand trial, with proceedings set to start in February.
- The court’s written motivations, expected in about a month, will clarify the assessment of any causal link between the infrastructure decisions and the crashes.
