«I ask for confirmation of the sentence of life imprisonment for Claudio Dettori ».

Thus the Attorney General Maria Gabriella Pintus concludes, this morning in the Court of Appeal, her speech on the murder of Antonio Fara, who disappeared on the night of April 22, 2021 in his home in via Livorno in Sassari . A death that has always seen only one defendant, Claudio Dettori, sentenced to life imprisonment in the court of Assizes last June.

Now the 26-year-old from Sassari, present in the courtroom today and assisted by the lawyer Danilo Mattana, has filed an appeal and his lawyer has asked for an anthropometric report, an in-depth examination of the medico-legal report and further investigations on fingerprint, blood and telephone cell tests. Requests that the magistrate considered useless because, he declared, "I have rarely seen a more solid evidentiary framework than this". Starting with the video footage, reproduced in the courtroom, with Dettori's movements before and after the murder, both from the entrance on via Livorno and from the rear entrance on via Napoli. The attorney general then highlighted "the glaring contradictions" of the defendant's version, who had recounted, among other things, Fara's alleged intention to leave the apartment because he felt persecuted.

Pintus asked the court , presided over by Salvatore Molinaro, alongside Maria Grixoni, and also made up of the popular jury, to confirm the aggravating circumstance of cruelty: Fara was hit with punches, kicks, pan blows, an attempted strangulation and with two fatal hammer blows and Dettori allegedly took advantage of the hospitality offered to him for about two months by the Sassari bartender. The civil party's lawyer Simone Pisano, who represents Antonio's sister, Ilenia, and his cousin Giovanni Becca, are on the same line. A response from the defense attorney is expected in March.
