Life sentence for Davide Iannelli : the Assize Court of Sassari accepted the thesis of the prosecutors Claudia Manconi and Gregorio Capasso, inflicting the maximum penalty on the man, recognizing the aggravating circumstance of cruelty, but not those of premeditation and torture.

Iannelli – 49 years old, from Cardito (Naples) – was found responsible for the murder of his neighbor (with whom he had a bad relationship) Antonio Cozzolino, which occurred in Olbia on March 11, 2022. The victim was doused in gasoline and engulfed in flames.

The defendant was present in the courtroom, near the defense attorneys, Cristina and Abele Cherchi. The victim's two sisters listened to the sentence, the civil parties were assisted by the lawyers Giampaolo Murrighile, Antonio Fois, Massimo Perra.

In her closing statement, prosecutor Claudia Manconi said: "After setting fire to Cozzolino, Iannelli watched him burn and walked away without doing anything."
