The sentence for unintentional murder of Stefano Cucchi against the carabinieri Alessio Di Bernardo and Raffaele D'Alessandro has been reduced by the Supreme Court: the sentence goes from 13 to 12 years in prison.
There will also be a new appeal process for the two carabinieri accused of forgery in the context of the death of Stefano Cucchi.

The Cucchi case, the stages of a battle that lasted 13 years
"At this point we can put an end to this first part of the trial on Stefano's murder. We can say that he was beaten to death, that justice was done against them who took him away from us. I have to thank a lot. people, my thoughts at this moment go to my parents who got sick of all this and cannot be with us, goes to my lawyers Fabio Anselmo and Stefano Maccioni and a big thank you to Dr. Giovanni Musarò who brought us here " .
Ilaria Cucchi said this after the sentence of the Supreme Court that he sentenced two carabinieri to 12 years for the death of his brother.
"Justice has finally arrived after so many years at least against those who beat Stefano causing death."
Cucchi's mother Rita Calore said so.
"It was a nocturnal via crucis that of Stefano Cucchi, carried from one station to another" underlined in the courtroom the Pg of the Cassation Tomaso Epidendio at the hearing for the beating suffered by the young surveyor by the carabinieri in the Casilina barracks, in 2009 in Rome, "and all the people who came into contact with him after the beating were impressed by Cucchi's conditions: it is a large number of subjects including nurses, escort personnel, prisoners, guard officers. Really you can believe that this impressive number of subjects has conspired against the carabinieri? ".
"These are professionally trained subjects who are faced with a predictable reaction, and not even the most striking, during the arrest of Stefano Cucchi who refuses to undergo the photo-signaling" underlined the Pg of the Cassation Tomaso Epidendio in the courtroom, adding that the beating carried out by the carabinieri in the Casilina barracks "it was a corporal punishment of extraordinary gravity, characterized by an evident lack of proportion with the uncooperative attitude of Cucchi".
For this, the Pg asked for confirmation of the aggravating circumstance of the futile reasons for the defendants.
