This morning, the trial of Ciro Grillo and three others, Edoardo Capitta, Francesco Corsiglia, and Vittorio Lauria, all accused of gang rape, resumes in Tempio Pausania.
The lawyers who will be presenting the final arguments have arrived at the courthouse in the Gallura town.
Prosecutor Gregorio Capasso has requested a nine-year prison sentence. The verdict could be announced today.
"The girl won't be physically here, because I strongly advised against it, but it's as if she were here," said lawyer Giulia Bongiorno, representing the Italian-Norwegian student who was the victim of the alleged gang rape that occurred on the Costa Smeralda in July 2019. "What do I expect from the sentence? I want to believe in justice, I want to believe that what my client said will be confirmed by the sentence," she added.
