The mother of Fabio Piu, the man from Sassari stabbed by the trapper: «My son has been in a wheelchair for a year and a half»

Elia Di Genova continues to declare himself innocent , even today the young Roman trapper, before the ten-year prison sentence was confirmed on appeal , stated that he was not responsible for the stabbing of Fabio Piu from Sassari.

Di Genova, in a video conference from the Regina Coeli prison, said that he wanted to create a football school for the most vulnerable children and that he wanted to donate the proceeds to Piu . Statements that had no effect.

Fabio Piu, 35 years old (mocked on social media by Di Genova after the first instance ruling) did not want to comment on the decision of the Court of Appeal of Sassari. «My son doesn't speak – said Piu's mother, Rossana Coradduzza – and none of us want to talk about Di Genova. I can say that my son is in a wheelchair. Absolutely nothing has changed since June last year , from the first instance ruling. Fabio continues to do physiotherapy. I can only thank our lawyer, Jacopo Merlini."

Fabio Piu has almost completely lost the use of his right leg, due to the severing of the spinal cord caused by the stab wound to the back that the young man suffered. The events occurred in Olbia in August 2022. Di Genova's lawyers, Pietro and Gian Maria Nicotera, in recent weeks have asked for a reevaluation of the measures against the trapper, but the requests were rejected . Di Genova was under house arrest and he was sent to prison after being charged with the crime of escape.
