The minor accused of Fallou Sall's murder was sentenced to 11 years and six months. His father said, "Shame."

The young man, 16 years old at the time of the events, accused of the murder of Fallou Sall , the 16-year-old boy stabbed to death on 4 September 2024, in Via Piave in Bologna, after intervening in defence of a friend, a 17-year-old Bangladeshi who had had some disagreements with the accused, was sentenced to 11 years and 6 months.

The ruling was issued by a panel of judges chaired by Gabriella Tomai, President of the Juvenile Court of Bologna.

"Know that in Italy the sentence for murder is 10-11 years. Murder, not attempted murder. This is a good lesson for our children. Shame ." This is Fallou Sall's father.

The minor was also charged with the attempted murder of Fallou's friend, a crime downgraded to grievous bodily harm, and the illegal possession of a knife.

The prosecution had asked for a total sentence of 21 years.
