Naples Appeals Court Confirms 13-Year Sentence for Mosca, Reduces Varriale’s to 8 Years 8 Months

The ruling follows a first-instance abbreviated trial over the 2023 attacks on two child cousins in Caivano.

Overview

  • Judges upheld Pasquale Mosca’s 13 years and 4 months and cut Giuseppe Varriale’s sentence to eight years and eight months.
  • The case stems from the 2023 rapes of two cousins, aged 10 and 12, after they were lured to an abandoned warehouse near Caivano’s Parco Verde.
  • The deputy public prosecutor requested confirmation for Mosca and proposed a plea agreement for Varriale that his lawyer declined.
  • Mosca’s defense argued partial incapacity to understand and will during summations.
  • Both defendants did not attend the reading of the decision, and the younger victim’s parents expressed relief and thanked the criminal judiciary.
