Overview
- The Tribunal of Tempio Pausania filed its written reasons on December 23, formally detailing the factual and legal basis for the September 22 first-instance convictions.
- Ciro Grillo and friends Edoardo Capitta and Vittorio Lauria received eight years in prison, while Francesco Corsiglia was sentenced to six years and six months.
- Judges deemed the principal accuser fully credible, citing corroboration from witness testimony, a kitesurf instructor’s account, medical findings of bruising at Milan’s Mangiagalli clinic, and digital photos, videos and messages.
- The court found the victim’s capacity was compromised after being forced to drink a vodka-based “beverone,” a condition the defendants recognized and exploited.
- The document describes coordinated conduct including blocking the victim’s escape, pulling her by the hair and forcing alcohol, and records humiliating images and videos taken of the second young woman while she slept.
