During the appeal trial for the murder of Serena Mollicone, the prosecution requested the sentence for Carabinieri Marshal Franco Mottola, at 24 years old, for his wife Annamaria, at 22 years old, and for his son Marco, at 21 years old years. This is the decision of the general prosecutor Francesco Piantoni and the deputy prosecutor at the Court of Appeal, Deborah Landolfi, after having filed the final brief with which, on Monday, they will end the indictment in the appeal trial for the murder of the young woman from Arce , in the province of Frosinone, disappeared from home on June 1, 2001 and was found lifeless after three days in the Fonte Cupa woods, near the Anitrella area of Monte San Giovanni Campano. Also during the trial, the acquittal of the other two defendants was requested, namely the carabinieri Francesco Suprano, due to the statute of limitations, and Vincenzo Quatrale, because the evidence did not reach the consistency of proof. During the first instance trial, the defendants were all acquitted.
The reconstruction of the prosecutors
Therefore, according to what was reconstructed by the prosecutors, on the day in which Serena disappeared she entered the Arce carabinieri barracks and then went to the Mottolas’ apartment where an argument arose, at the culmination of which the young woman hit her head against the upright of a door and lose consciousness. Despite her situation and instead of providing assistance in her case, the Mottola family would have let her die and then left her lifeless body in the woods. The magistrates, among other things, also asked the prosecutor’s office to investigate three of the witnesses heard during the hearing by the Rome appeals court for forgery. Among them is Annarita Torriero, a close friend of Brigadier Santino Tuzi (who later committed suicide) who said, and then denied, that he had seen Serena in the barracks on the day of her disappearance. The woman, however, stated that she had never seen Serena Mollicone in the barracks that day. She herself is dynamic for Massimiliano Gemma, Torriero’s husband, as well as for Giampaolo Tomaselli, a colleague of the body shop dealer Carmine Belli, tried for the murder and acquitted at the end of the first trial.
