Two of them would have raped her in turn, while a third young man would have participated in the sexual assault by providing both the car used for soliciting a young prostitute and the place where the violence then took place: a restaurant on the coast of Castiadas in which the boy would work as a cook in the summer and as a caretaker in the winter. Pinned down by the investigation, Babar Bashir, a 26-year-old Pakistani, the only one identified of the three and sent to trial, was sentenced yesterday to ten years in prison, two more than the prosecution had asked for.
The prosecutor Gilberto Ganassi had coordinated the investigations, born from the woman's complaint. The facts date back to 2017. A few days after the violence, the victim had reviewed the car and reported it to the judicial police who had traced back to the young owner. The woman, it must be emphasized, during the trial had also reiterated that the Pakistani accused had not participated in the rape but was driving and had hidden the license plate of the car when it was then abandoned near Viale Diaz in Cagliari. . Lured near via Po with the excuse of a paid sexual service, the young woman was then threatened with a knife and taken to Castiadas in a bathhouse where the accused worked.
"The accused made available the car and the room where the violence took place", said the prosecutor Rita Cariello, soliciting the conviction for group sexual violence: "He had accompanied the perpetrators and was filmed by cameras while with the keys he opens the restaurant. The evidence is manifold: the woman described the place, remembered the white piano and the furnishings. Everything has been verified ».
The defender Roberto Nati asked the First Criminal Section of the Court, chaired by judge Tiziana Marogna, to assess the extenuating circumstances because the boy had not participated in the violence anyway, as admitted by the young woman who became a civil party with the lawyer Marco Zusa. At the end of a brief council chamber, the judges decided to sentence the accused, currently untraceable, to 10 years in prison.
