The trial into the murder of Cinzia Pinna has begun before the judges of the Sassari Assize Court. Arzachena businessman Emanuele Ragnedda is accused of voluntary manslaughter, slander, and cocaine distribution.
The Assize Court rejected the request for a summary trial presented by Ragnedda's defense attorneys, criminal lawyers Luca Montella and Gabriele Satta.
Civil plaintiff attorney Antonella Cuccureddu asked the judges to exclude from the list of witnesses the individuals summoned to provide information on Ragnedda's personality and lifestyle. Cuccureddu also pointed out to the judges that Cinzia Pinna was not given the opportunity to defend herself in the trials against her because she was killed on September 12, 2025. Ragnedda's defense attorneys gathered documents from the criminal proceedings against the victim. The court withdrew.
Emanuele Ragnedda, present in the courtroom, declared during a break: "It shouldn't have happened." The businessman claims he acted because he was attacked and had no other options.
The defense insists on calling witnesses to testify about the entrepreneur's personality. Attorney Luca Montella stated that the indictment describes his client as a monster and that this issue must be addressed. He requested the subpoenaing of a police officer and a Carabinieri officer.
Cinzia Pinna's family sent a clear message: "We don't feel hatred; we're all here united so that Cinzia gets justice. Without her family, without the Castelsardo community, we wouldn't have been able to overcome our grief. Cinzia was always there for all of us; she was loving and present."
