Prosecutors Seek Life for Cecere, Four Years for Soracco in 1996 Nada Cella Murder Trial

The request follows a two-hearing closing argument portraying a jealous outburst with a subsequent cover-up.

Overview

  • Public prosecutor Gabriella Dotto closed her summation by requesting life imprisonment for Anna Lucia Cecere for aggravated voluntary homicide and four years for accountant Marco Soracco for favouring.
  • Dotto described Cecere’s act as a sudden, non-premeditated attack driven by jealousy, using the term “raptus” and “lucida follia” to characterize the alleged impulse.
  • Investigators’ reconstruction presented in court outlines Cecere arriving at the office, arguing with Cella, launching a violent assault with a sharp object, and washing up as some traces were cleaned.
  • The prosecution alleges Soracco knew the assailant’s identity from the outset, lied to investigators, and bears responsibility for Cecere’s long impunity.
  • Defense lawyers for Cecere and Soracco reject the narrative and contend the acquaintanceship between the two was superficial, with their responses still to come as the trial continues.
