The Court of Assizes in Rome has sentenced Rassoul Bissoultanov, the Chechen accused of the murder of Niccolò Ciatti, to 23 years.

The boy died in August 2017 during a violent beating outside a club in Lloret de Mar in Spain .

The prosecutor had asked for life imprisonment.

The judges reaffirmed the accusation of voluntary homicide but ruled out aggravating circumstances against the defendant, currently on the run . The Chechen citizen has already been sentenced to 15 years in prison in Spain for the same incident.
