(ANSA) – BOLOGNA, 04 APR – The Gup of the Court of Bologna, Sandro Pecorella, sentenced the two carabinieri who ended up on trial for persecuting a lawyer – who in the past had defended one of them in a proceeding before the military court – with false home orders for pizzas, silent phone calls and registration with a marriage agency. These are Marshal Piergiorgio Madonno, for whom a sentence of one year and six months has been established, and Marshal Gian Luca Russo, sentenced to one year and two months. The trial took place with the formula of the abbreviated procedure and the prosecutor, with the prosecutor Michele Martorelli, had asked for a sentence of one year and six months for both. The two were accused of stalking, abuse of office and forgery, but for the latter crime they were both acquitted. As an ancillary penalty, the GUP established the ban from public offices relating to their qualification as marshal and a provisional amount of 10 thousand euros.
A conditional suspension of the sentence was also ordered. According to the reconstruction of the Prosecutor’s Office, the two carabinieri, in addition to persecuting the lawyer, assisted in the trial by the lawyer Giovanni Sacchi Morsiani, when the victim turned to the former client in uniform to make a complaint against unknown persons, both would have failed to abstain in presence of one’s own interest, preventing or delaying the ascertainment of the facts, thus configuring the crime of abuse of office. The two marshals were assisted by the lawyers Andrea Margotti and Antonio Petroncini. (HANDLE).
