Overview
- Pavia prosecutor Fabio Napoleone asked the court to sentence Massimo Adriatici to 11 years and 4 months for the 2021 killing of Younes El Boussettaoui in Piazza Meardi, Voghera.
- The case is proceeding under the abbreviated trial procedure, which would reduce any prison term by one third if he is convicted.
- On November 6, Judge Valentina Nevoso requalified the charge to voluntary murder, noting he could have avoided the danger and had the training to assess the situation as a former police officer.
- Evidence cited includes surveillance footage, a Beretta Model 21 in .22 caliber with a round chambered, and hollow‑point rounds described in court reporting as suited to range use rather than personal defense.
- Adriatici says he was pushed and fell and that the gun discharged without intent to kill, with a decision expected on January 30, 2026 before the Pavia court.
