(ANSA) - FLORENCE, 04 FEB - Sentence on appeal to 4 years and 6 months of imprisonment for the former carabiniere Marco Camuffo, one of the two soldiers accused of raping two Usan students on the night between 6 and 7 September 2017 in Florence, after having them take them home with the service car after having met them outside a nightclub. In the first instance, Camuffo was sentenced in abbreviated terms to 4 years and 8 months. The two-month reduction of the sentence is due to the exclusion by judges of the aggravating circumstance of the violation of official duties, a crime for which Camuffo has already been convicted by the military court.
The other former military man accused of the violence, Pietro Costa, was sentenced in the first instance to 5 years and 6 months on 20 February in an ordinary trial. (HANDLE).
