The Prime Minister has spoken out on social media following the controversy surrounding the jeweller’s case and calls for compensation from the relatives of the thieves who were killed: “You attack me. I defend myself. And I’m supposed to compensate you? That’s not fair.” A detention order has been issued by the Asti Public Prosecutor’s Office

The President of the Republic has cautioned Nordio regarding the limits of clemency, pointing out that without the Supreme Court’s reasoning, the Roggero case cannot be turned into propaganda. He also warns the government: security is not the Wild West, and every institution must remain within its own remit

“It’s not just the appeal for clemency; we’ll also be taking other initiatives here in the House to stir things up a bit and try to provide some answers.” The phone call from Sasso, a resident of Vannaccio, to the jeweller sentenced to 14 years and 9 months in prison for killing two men who had robbed his shop

The 14-year and 9-month prison sentence handed down to jeweller Mario Roggero, who killed two robbers on 28 April 2021 following a raid on his shop, has been definitively upheld. Roggero has become a symbol for Salvini and Vannacci, but taking the law into one’s own hands has nothing to do with self-defence

The new security bill amends a provision of the Civil Code: anyone defending themselves against a crime is not liable to pay compensation to their attacker. However, the measure – which was inspired by the case of the Piedmontese jeweller and passed the day before the Supreme Court’s ruling – cannot be applied in his case. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court judges have ruled: the sentence of fourteen years and nine months is now final
