The Tribunal of Avellino has sentenced T.G., from Montesarchio, to two years and six months in prison for acts of persecution and related offences, while acquitting him of aggravated extortion.
The case concerns events alleged to have occurred in San Martino Valle Caudina. In a first-instance judgment, the court found the defendant guilty of acts of persecution under Article 612-bis of the Italian Criminal Code, along with injuries and carrying a weapon at the injured party's home. The offences were treated as continuing offences.
The prosecution had requested an overall sentence of five years' imprisonment. The court instead imposed two years and six months for the confirmed offences.
The local report does not provide the court's detailed reasoning for the acquittal on aggravated extortion, and it does not state whether an appeal has been filed. The defendant is identified in the report only by the initials T.G.
