Overview

• Reports say a 55-year-old inmate punched Filippo Turetta in August inside Verona’s Montorio prison after his transfer from a protected unit to the fourth section.
• The alleged attacker, serving final sentences for murder and attempted murder, was placed in 15 days of disciplinary isolation and later reportedly refused food, water and prescribed medication in protest.
• Italy’s Department of Penitentiary Administration has not issued an official statement on the episode.
• Gino Cecchettin condemned the assault, saying violence is not the answer and that the incident does not make him feel happy.
• Corriere reports Turetta intends to request a restorative-justice process at the 14 November appeal only with the father's consent, while cross-appeals continue over aggravating factors and premeditation.
