The trial on the Di Genova case is blocked. It is necessary to identify a new judge for the assignment of the trial against Elia Di Genova, the 27-year-old Roman trapper (better known as Elia 17 Baby), accused of attempted murder for the stabbing of Fabio Piu from Sassari (August 14, 2022 , Marinella beach, Olbia).
The Court of Appeal of Sassari has in fact accepted the request for recusal of the investigating judge of Tempio Pausania, prepared by the criminal lawyers Pietro and Gian Maria Nicotera. The Court decided that the investigating judge Marco Contu cannot go further in the proceedings, because he ruled on the precautionary measure (he rejected the request for release) and therefore finds himself in a situation of incompatibility.
Di Genova's defenders, Pietro and Gian Maria Nicotera declared: "This decision has a direct value to bring the facts into the right dimension, to face a trial without prejudice and impartial". The Roman singer continues to claim he is innocent. Piu was hit in the back, the blade reached his spine, injuring his spinal cord. The civil party lawyer Jacopo Merlini, in a statement, spoke of the very high risk of permanent consequences of the injuries.
