In March of a year ago, the judge of the court of Nuoro, Giovanni Angelicchio, had sentenced him, with the abbreviated rite, to ten years of imprisonment for having, in several circumstances, abused his granddaughters. Sentence that in October of a year ago had been reduced by the Court of Appeal of Sassari to 6 years and 8 months, and that had led the ogre grandfather who remained free in these years also to have a snack to celebrate. In the village there had also appeared some writings against him with death threats.

Today, however, the man, 62 years old, was picked up by the Carabinieri who at midday knocked on his house in a center of Baronia, to notify him of the sentence that had become enforceable: Wednesday evening, the judges of the Court of Cassation declared the appeal presented by his lawyer, Giovanni Maria Spanu, inadmissible, so the grandfather was taken directly to prison. He will have to serve 6 years and eight months. The nightmare during the summer holidays. The girls had told their story in the summer of 2020, when they spent the holidays with their grandparents, in a center of Baronia.

The grandfather abused his teenage granddaughter at home on the day of Ferragosto, when the two were alone. A month later - it was the end of September - he went off by car to an isolated place on the outskirts of the town with his other granddaughter, who was 10 years old. The eldest of the girls (protected by the lawyer Gian Mario Pilatu) had tried to push her grandfather away from her. But her story, and that of the teenager's parents, was underestimated by the other relatives who dismissed it as childish fantasies and by the girl's doctor who did not have the sensitivity to delve deeper. Thus, in the web of the grandfather, who was not stopped in time by those who had collected the confidences of his victims, the younger cousin also ended up. The story came to light when the mother of the last victim had no doubts and reported everything to the police.
