Milan Student Stabbing Case: Five Youths Face Judge as Intercepts Describe Mockery and Plans to Reoffend
All five stand accused of attempted murder plus aggravated robbery under a theory that the group reinforced the stabber’s intent.
Overview
- Two 18-year-olds at San Vittore and three 17-year-olds at the Beccaria juvenile center are being questioned today by GIP Chiara Valori in Milan.
- Prosecutors say CCTV and ambient recordings identify one adult as the knife attacker while the others are pursued for moral concurrence that allegedly bolstered his resolve.
- The 22-year-old Bocconi student suffered lung and spinal injuries and is reported paraplegic after a robbery linked by investigators to roughly 50 euros.
- Intercepted conversations cited in judicial filings recount laughter about the victim’s paralysis, hopes he would die, and talk of “gearing up” to strike again.
- One adult suspect portrayed as a lookout tells his lawyer he believed it was only a scuffle and says he is shocked, with a letter of apology under consideration.
