«After more than two years we are at the starting point. We no longer have faith in the Prosecutor’s Office. Despite this, we are not stopping, the damage suffered by Luca is considerable and we believe we have every right to know the truth, to find out how things really happened.” It was January 2022 when Chiara Tavernamother of Luca Castiglionihad uttered these words outside the Court of Milan where what was supposed to be the first hearing of a trial that the Castiglioni family had been waiting for for two years had just taken place.
A trial downgraded from malicious to negligent that moved from Milan to Rho
A trial later canceled due to a failure to file a complaint with the crime being downgraded from intentional to negligent. A trial then transferred from Milan to the Justice of the Peace of Rho who last Friday found himself facing Luca Castiglioni, the accused Marius Tiba, 27 years old from Parabiago, accused of negligent injury (but according to the defense lawyer himself the only one who doesn’t have much to do with the story), but not the most important thing on the desk: the 800 pages of medical records and folders full of papers for closing the investigations.
Medical records and folders were not transferred from Milan to Rho
An “forgetfulness” that left everyone present in the courtroom speechless, but above all Luca and his family who have been waiting for too long to put an end to this matter. And instead… Instead we will have to start all over again with the summoning to the courtroom in Rho of some of the witnesses who had previously been heard in Milan. Witnesses who could also be personally involved in this strange story that took place way back in July 2019 during a birthday party in Nerviano. According to what was reconstructed by the investigators, the young Rhodesian was lifted and pushed too violently due to “a game that ended badly”, falling to the ground and hitting his head on the marble floor.
Transported to Legnano hospital he fought between life and death and today he has not yet returned to a normal life
Rushed to hospital in Legnano, he fought between life and death, then was admitted to intensive care and also had to undergo long rehabilitation. Despite his efforts at the Bosisio Parini institute, Luca has not yet returned to a normal life: he has suffered serious permanent damage which will not allow him to do so. Last Friday was a cold shower for Luca, who burst into tears at the end of the hearing, when the Justice of the Peace of Rho practically stated that we had to start all over again, setting the first hearing of the new trial for December 6th in Rho.
Next hearing on December 6th, we will start all over again
An affair, the one that involved the young man from Rhodes, with many black holes, many silences and a lot of bureaucracy like the last act that took place last Friday morning in Rho when the judge and the public prosecutor found themselves starting a hearing without having the files of the Court of Milan, a fundamental aspect in order to begin the work. A cold shower for Luca and his family, but in any case, as reiterated once again by mother Chiara «we are not stopping, the damage suffered by Luca is considerable, we believe we have the right to know the truth and at this point to know it soon given that five years have passed since that damned month of July 2019.»
