The beating against Stefano Cucchi was "unjustified and disproportionate".

Thus the judges of the Court of Appeal write in the motivations of the sentence with which last May 7, in the bis trial on the death of the surveyor, they sentenced the two carabinieri Alessio Di Bernardo and Raffaele D'Alessandro to 13 years for manslaughter. half years the carabiniere Roberto Mandolini for forgery.

"The victim is hit with repeated unjustified and disproportionate actions, compared to the arrested person's attempt to hit the public official with a purely figurative gesture - they write in the document - inserted in a context of mutual insults initially carried out by the carabiniere Di Bernardo and the arrested , which, in the given context, expresses the simple refusal to undergo photo-signaling ". According to the Roman judges, "the disproportion between the altercation that arose between Di Bernardo and Cucchi with respect to the extent of the aggression suffered by the latter in which D'Alessandro participated" can be considered as ascertained.

On the aggravating circumstance of the futile reasons, "the violent modalities with which the beating against the arrested person was consummated, frail in the physical structure, express a modality in the action that has transmitted the simple intention of reacting to the resistance opposed to the execution of the photo-signaling ".
