Overview

• Judges in Tempio Pausania sentenced Ciro Grillo, Vittorio Lauria and Edoardo Capitta to eight years, and Francesco Corsiglia to six years and six months.
• Neither the defendants nor the principal accuser were in court for the verdict, which came six years after the events in the Grillo family villa in Porto Cervo.
• Prosecutor Gregorio Capasso had sought nine years for each defendant, citing testimony and digital evidence including a video attributed to Grillo.
• The three-judge panel led by Marco Contu proceeded after an earlier postponement due to a bereavement, with Judge Alessandro Cossu applied to the court by the CSM.
• The court recognized generic mitigating factors and ordered provisional compensation to civil parties, with final damages to be determined separately.
