The deputy public prosecutor at the Court of Trani, Roberta Moramarco, asked the investigating judge, Lucia Anna Altamura, to dismiss the position of the five suspects (in respect of whom it was assumed that they were involved in vehicular homicide) in the proceedings relating to the assessment of the causes of the death of the 26-year-old chef Raffaele Casale, which occurred on 16 August 2017 when he fell from his motorbike in via Martiri in Palermo.
This is what the outcome of the evidentiary incident has been: once closed, it has asked for it to be dismissed but the Casale family, the offended party, has already made it known that it will oppose it within the twenty days foreseen and the investigating judge will decide whether to extend the preliminary investigations or permanently close the proceedings.
The evidentiary incident itself had made it necessary to extend the number of people under investigation from one to five. This picture was reached after the investigating judge, rejecting the first request for dismissal made by the prosecutor, had ordered another six months of investigations on 12 April 2023 and then the prosecutor had requested and obtained the evidentiary hearing.
From the request for archiving after the evidentiary incident it would be deduced that the fall of the centaur occurred due to his presumed incompetence, but his father still doesn’t think so: in the expert report, according to what he says, some sound recordings and photos from which Amiu’s responsibility for the alleged failure to clean the roadway from needles would be evident pine tree, a circumstance which would have contributed more than anything to the victim’s fatal fall.
