Mother Urges End to Retaliation as Turin Teen Torture Probe Intensifies

Youth prosecutors are examining three adolescents and have seized their phones while investigators work to verify allegations and account for a 17-hour gap.

Overview

  • The victim’s mother appealed to friends and peers to stop social media insults and so-called punitive outings, saying justice should come through the law.
  • Prosecutors for minors have opened a case for kidnapping, unlawful coercion and sexual violence against two boys aged 14 and 15 and a 16-year-old girl.
  • Carabinieri and local police contained a new gathering of roughly 40 youths in Moncalieri after earlier attempts to confront one of the accused.
  • The 15-year-old was interviewed by youth prosecutors with a psychologist present, and he remains under the care of social services.
  • Investigators seized the suspects’ phones for forensic review, with reports of deleted videos from the night in question, and key elements — including medical corroboration and alleged sexual assault — remain unconfirmed.
