(ANSA) – PORDENONE, AUGUST 23 – “That woman must be tried in Italy and serve her entire sentence here”. This was stated by Barbara Scandella, mother of Giovanni Zanier, the fifteen-year-old from Pordenone overwhelmed and killed by a 20-year-old American soldier who was driving drunk.
“We know all the precedents that have involved American soldiers in very serious incidents in Italy – he added -: the truth is that, in these areas, they do what they want and go unpunished. I ask the authorities to deny the authorization to shift jurisdiction in USA, even though I know that in that country the penalties for these crimes are even more severe. But we want to follow the trial and that she be sentenced in Italy to the maximum penalty “. Her statements appear today in some newspapers including Corriere della Sera and Repubblica. “I will never be able to forgive her – he concluded -: all of us, at 20, have done our nonsense, but how can you drink so much before getting into the car? Nobody will give us back our Giovanni”. (HANDLE).
