Italy’s Coalition Seeks Pardon for Jeweller Who Killed Robbers
The coalition says Roggero defended his life and property and will collect signatures for a pardon after the court upheld his 14-year, 9-month sentence.
- On Thursday, Italy's ruling parties called for a presidential pardon for 72-year-old jeweler Mario Roggero, sentenced to 14 years and 9 months for killing two robbers during a 2021 shop raid.
- Italy's supreme court rejected Roggero's final appeal on Wednesday, upholding his 14-year, 9-month sentence after ruling he exceeded legitimate self-defense limits because the robbers' threat had passed.
- During the 2021 robbery at his Grinzane Cavour shop, Roggero shot two men, an act Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's coalition has backed as legitimate defense of life and property.
- Following the verdict, the 72-year-old turned himself in at a jail in Fossano on Thursday as ruling parties began collecting signatures for a formal pardon request.
- League leader Matteo Salvini stated, "After a lifetime of work, I don't think it's fair to spend years in prison at 72 after being assaulted and robbed." Under Italian law, the justice ministry must review petitions before forwarding to President Sergio Mattarella.
