Cagliari, August 10, 2023. A 24-year-old boy, drunk and driving a souped-up car, does not stop at the police checkpoint, who starts chasing him and manages to stop him. He is Lucio Marzo, a self-confessed murderer of his sixteen-year-old girlfriend Noemi Durini , which occurred in the countryside of Castrignano del Capo in September 2017.
Marzo, a minor at the time of the crime, was definitively sentenced to 18 years and 8 months and was serving his sentence in the juvenile prison of Quartucciu. He had a permit to work in a shop in Sarroch , but among the provisions of the surveillance judge there was a ban on driving motor vehicles.
Imma Rizzo, Noemi's mother, knew nothing about it and when she learned the news in the newspapers she began her own battle. First she managed to have Marzo transferred to an adult prison (he is now detained in Bollate, in the Milan area) then she asked for a list of the permits obtained by the young man in recent years .
He got it a few days ago, and he can hardly believe it. Lucio Marzo got his first permits just three years after the murder.
He was allowed to go to the Domus to cheer on Cagliari matches, to work and even to date his new girlfriend, a girl he had met at work in Sardinia . He also left prison to vote in the 2022 political elections. "As if my daughter had been killed a second time, but by the State," says Noemi's mother.
Now that she has all the permits obtained by her daughter's murderer, Imma Rizzo has written to the Minister of Justice Carlo Nordio. She is asking for "the abolition of reward permits in the case of serious crimes such as femicide", moreover granted "to a prisoner who is still a danger to society" . The woman finds it "disconcerting" that he was allowed to date a girl after what he did to her Noemi .
