Lawyers representing Wolfgang Rieke, the 63-year-old German truck driver who ran over and killed Italian cyclist Davide Rebellin in Montebello Vicentino on November 30, 2022, told a Vicenza court on Monday that a pleabargain has been reached with prosecutors for him to serve jail term of three years, 11 months.
The same agreement had been rejected by a preliminary hearingsjudge in December.
Rieke's lawyers also asked for him to be able to serve this sentence under house arrest.
He is currently in prison in Vicenza.
Rieke was arrested in Germany last year and extradited to Italy in August.
The court will give its ruling on March 11.
Rebellin, 51, was one of Italy's top riders in the 1990s.
His family got compensation of 825,000 euros from an insurance company.
