Turin court voices dismay over attacks on judges after Roggero verdict

The president of Turin's appeals

court on Friday voiced dismay over attacks from right-wing

quarters on the Turin appeals judges who handed down a 14 year

nine month jail term in 2025 to Mario Roggero, a jeweler who

shot dead two fleeing robbers outside his shop near Cuneo in

2021 - a sentence that became definitive when it was upheld by

the supreme court Wednesday.

"Dismay and extreme concern over the very serious defamatory

campaign unfolding on social media following the Supreme Court

of Cassation's ruling upholding the conviction handed down

against Mario Roggero by the Turin Court of Assizes on December

3, 2025, partially reversing the ruling of the Asti Court of

Assizes of December 4, 2023," read a statement by the President

of the Turin Court of Appeal, Alessandra Bassi, "also on behalf

of all the District magistrates."
