Rhasi Abrahman, a 23-year-old Moroccan who during a series of robberies, particularly against women, had injured six passers-by, who had also intervened to help and stabbed them, before being stopped on 6 March last year, was sentenced to 8 years and 2 months in prison. , by the police near the Milan Central station.
An episode that had created a lot of alarm in the city on the security front.
The sentence was issued today in the abbreviated trial by the Milan judge Alberto Carboni, who also ordered the expulsion of the young man upon expiation and who recognized the generic mitigating factors as equivalent to the contested aggravating factors.
Prosecutor Maura Ripamonti had asked for an 8-year sentence.
In the investigation, the Prosecutor's Office had also ordered a psychiatric consultation on the young man, who ascertained the 23-year-old's capacity to understand and want at the time of the events.
No mental vice, therefore, but an abuse of narcotic substances and a cognitive delay which, however, did not affect his ability.
As reconstructed in the precautionary custody order, signed by investigating judge Lidia Castellucci, it involved "brutal and violent attacks, characterized by punches in the face, blows inflicted with a knife and violent pushes which made the women fall to the ground", who were the targets of the robberies.
"I don't remember anything as I had drunk and taken five Rivotril tablets - explained the young man, defended by the lawyer Nicola D'Amore, before the investigating judge, after the arrest -. Before
arriving in Italy I didn't use any narcotics, "Since I arrived in Italy I have been using hashish, heroin and synthetic pills. I only remember up until the moment I entered a bar, I bought a drink, but after taking the pills I no longer remember anything - he added -. I live on the street in Milan in the Central Station area, in the underpass. I turn to the welfare associations for food and clothing."
