Overview
- The Tribunal of Rome convicted Emanuele Marroccella for eccesso colposo nell'uso legittimo delle armi in the death of 56-year-old Syrian Jamal Badawi.
- The judge imposed a three-year prison term, exceeding the prosecutor’s request of two years and six months.
- The court ordered a five-year ban from public office and provisional payments to the civil parties.
- Prosecutors’ reconstruction states Badawi fled a break-in on via Paolo di Dono after striking a carabiniere with a screwdriver, was between 7 and 13 meters away and turned with his back when two shots were fired, one of which was fatal.
- Defense lawyers said they will appeal the verdict, while the victim’s counsel argued for voluntary homicide, and Deputy Premier Matteo Salvini voiced support for the carabiniere.
