Out of Bancali. The Court of Appeal today overturned the order that ordered Luca Silanos and his brothers Alessio and Fabio Levanti to be held in Sassari prison.
The measure was passed in early March, with charges of receiving stolen goods and illegal possession of a firearm. The charges relate to the shooting that occurred on January 19th in Predda Niedda, when Giovanni Maninchedda shot Silanos. The explosion was set off from his used car dealership as Silanos approached the lot despite Maninchedda's shouting to him to move away.
The bullet struck Silanos in the femur. He had arrived at the scene with the Levantis, but in a different car. The two brothers had called for help, and video footage apparently recorded the presence of a gun held by one of the three.
Maninchedda, after a period of hiding, was subsequently taken to prison, where he remains, on charges of attempted murder. Silanos was represented by lawyers Lorenzo Galisai and Nicola Satta, while Marco Palmieri, Paolo Spano, and Anna Maria Santoru assisted the Levantis. Patrizio Rovelli and Danilo Mattana represented Maninchedda. The preliminary hearing was presided over by Massimo Zaniboni, with Sara Pelicci and Paolo Bulla acting as assistants.
