(ANSA) - ROME, OCTOBER 04 - "The official version of Armadei Carabinieri on the death of Stefano Cucchi" had "been 'packaged' excluding any possible involvement of the military so that the image and career of territorial verticals and, in particular, of the commander of the Rome Group, Alessandro Casarsa, was not undermined ".
This is what the single judge of Rome writes in the reasons for the sentence which, last April, condemned eight carabinieri accused of having misled after the death of Stefano Cucchi which took place in Rome in October 2009, one week after his arrest.
"The wide-ranging preliminary investigation allowed to reconstruct the disputed facts and to ascertain a misleading activity put in place in the immediacy of Stefano Cucchi's death, aimed at averting the suspicions that fell on the carabinieri to avoid possible repercussions on the top command of the Capitoline territory ", writes, among other things, the judge.
