Stefano Cucchi judicial proceedings

Overview

Italy’s Court of Cassation has acquitted Colonel Lorenzo Sabatino in the legal proceedings regarding the 2009 death of Stefano Cucchi. The court’s Fifth Criminal Section granted a request to annul Sabatino’s previous conviction, ruling that the facts did not constitute a crime and citing contradictions in the prior sentence.

The ruling also rejected appeals from other Carabinieri officers. While the acquittal concludes a specific legal chapter, the court’s decision recognizes that false reports and misdirection were used to conceal the truth regarding the Cucchi case. The family of Stefano Cucchi expressed gratitude for the recognition of their long struggle for justice.
