Pietro Genovese, the twenty-year-old definitively sentenced to five years and four months in prison for the road homicide of Gaia von Freymann and Camilla Romagnoli, the 16-year-olds, was sent to trial by the Court of Rome on charges of escaping from house arrest. Roman women overwhelmed and killed on the evening of 22 December 2019 on Corso Francia.
The trial has been set for March 20th.
The story dates back to January 16, 2022. That day, according to what the prosecution claims, the carabinieri of the Parioli company went to the house of the Genovese family, in the Trieste district, to carry out a ritual check.
They rang the intercom several times but did not get an answer.
Although the soldiers were in possession of the suspect's mobile phone, they did not try to contact him. From the surveillance cameras in the building it does not appear that Genovese had left the house.
And the failure to answer the intercom triggered the accusation of escape.
"There is no image from the CCTV cameras in which Genovese - his defender, the lawyer Gianluca Tognozzi, stated in the courtroom - is filmed leaving the house. There is no evidence of escape".
