Anna Perugino was sentenced to eight years in prison, the woman believed to be the instigator of the attack on Davide Ferrerio, the 22-year-old young man from Bologna, who was near death on 11 August 2022 in the center of Crotone where he was on holiday, by Nicolò Passalacqua, sentenced to 20 years in prison.
The sentence of the Court of Crotone, read by the president of the criminal college Edoardo D’Ambrosio, did not accept the request of the prosecutor Pasquale Festa for a 12-year sentence for anomalous complicity in attempted murder, but reclassified the crime of anomalous complicity as very serious injuries .
A decision that will also have repercussions in the appeal process for Nicolò Passalacqua which is underway in Catanzaro.
Co-defendant Andrei Gaiu was acquitted for not having committed the crime.
The criminal panel took into consideration the advice of the Court’s expert in which it was argued that it was not the punch struck by Passalacqua that caused Davide Ferrerio’s brain damage but the impact on the asphalt. Hence, as also supported by the woman’s defender, the lawyer Aldo Truncé, the reclassification of the crime.
Davide Ferrerio was the victim of the brutal beating due to mistaken identity following a punitive expedition aimed at a man who was annoying Perugino’s daughter on social media. Expedition organized according to the prosecution’s theory by the same woman who also made use of her partner Andrei Gaiu who that evening was part of the group that was supposed to go and meet the man who was courting Martina Perugino (underage at the time) on Instagram. for which social services probation was ordered for 2 years and 6 months. Davide Ferrerio who happened to pass through that area was mistaken for the suitor and attacked by Passalacqua. The young man from Bologna is in an irreversible coma in Bologna hospital.
The Court rejected the Municipality of Bologna’s request for compensation for damages and recognized that for the other civil parties separately. Perugini was sentenced to pay a provisional amount of 500 thousand euros for Davide Ferrerio and 150 thousand euros for the boy’s family, and 10 thousand euros for the Municipality and Province of Crotone.
