Overview
- The Court of Assizes of Appeal in Turin delivered the ruling after three and a half hours of deliberation.
- The case stems from an April 28, 2021 robbery in Grinzane Cavour in which Roggero fatally shot Andrea Spinelli and Giuseppe Mazzarino and wounded Alessandro Modica as they fled.
- Prosecutors said the shootings resembled an execution of fleeing robbers, describing a pursuit into the street and toward the getaway car.
- Roggero told judges he fired to protect his wife and himself, with the defense arguing putative self‑defence influenced by trauma from a 2015 assault.
- Defense counsel signaled an appeal to the Court of Cassation, while figures from the Lega expressed solidarity and Roggero said the judges lacked courage.
