Overview

• Judges in Tempio Pausania are set to deliberate today after final replies, with President Marco Contu presiding.
• Prosecutor Gregorio Capasso has requested nine years in prison for each of the four defendants, along with interdiction from public office.
• The case centers on alleged group sexual violence on July 16–17, 2019 at the Grillo family home in Cala di Volpe, with Silvia accusing the four of repeated assault and Roberta alleging nonconsensual sexualized photos.
• Defense teams assert that all encounters were consensual and point to what they describe as gaps and contradictions in Silvia’s account.
• Court records include videos and defendants’ chat messages that prosecutors say reflect a demeaning attitude toward the alleged victim, and Silvia’s counsel notes she faced 1,675 questions during testimony in largely closed hearings now open to the press.
