Italian judicial rulings and criminal convictions

The Italian judiciary has issued several significant rulings involving political violence, organized crime, and violent offenses.

In October 2026, the Rome Court of Appeal upheld convictions for individuals involved in the 2021 assault on the CGIL national headquarters during ‘No Green Pass’ protests, including leaders from Forza Nuova. Concurrently, the Supreme Court finalized sentences for 24 defendants linked to a Casalesi clan-related criminal organization in the Veneto region, with leadership receiving sentences of approximately 30 years.

Subsequent judicial developments included definitive sentences for sexual violence and domestic abuse in Riccione, as well as a five-year sentence for a kidnapping case in Campobasso. In the Salerno region, prosecutors requested nearly 900 years of imprisonment for 72 members of the Fezza/De Vivo clan on charges including extortion and drug trafficking. Other rulings addressed mafia association, homicide, and crimes against minors.

Recent finalized cases include a four-year and eleven-month sentence for a personal trainer in Riccione for sexual violence and domestic abuse after the Supreme Court of Cassation rejected his appeal. In Campobasso, Donato Corsillo and Antonietta Iapaolo were arrested following a five-year sentence for kidnapping and domestic abuse involving the twenty-year segregation of a relative. Additionally, a 46-year-old man was arrested in the Aeolian Islands for aggravated sexual violence against a minor during a ferry crossing. In Trieste, Samuele Battistella received a 12-year sentence for the death of Shimpei Tominaga.
