Recent judicial rulings in Italy and Greece have addressed fatal traffic accidents involving impaired drivers. 

In Torre del Greco, Italy, Severino Tommaso was sentenced to 10 years in prison following an abbreviated trial. The ruling stems from a collision between an SUV and a police vehicle that resulted in the death of police chief assistant Aniello Scarpati and serious injuries to officer Ciro Cozzolino. Prosecutors stated the driver was under the influence of alcohol and cocaine and failed to provide assistance after the crash.

In Imathia, Greece, the Thessaloniki Court of Appeals imposed a sentence of 20 years and 7 months on a 32-year-old man for a 2022 accident. The driver, who was speeding and under the influence of alcohol, struck a mother and her two daughters, killing a 15-year-old girl. The sentence was increased after the Supreme Court overturned a previous ruling that had granted a reduction based on good behavior.
