The statute of limitations expired for four defendants, one died while waiting for the sentence and 97 others were acquitted "because the fact does not exist". The judge of the Court, Alessandra Tedde, ruled yesterday that an illegal subdivision had not been built in Uta. Four years ago, 102 were under investigation and, after two years of trial, a sentence swept away all the charges.
The process
According to the Prosecutor's Office, many agricultural houses built in the countryside of Uta, in the localities of "Tana de su Marginai", "Mori Furonis", "Fraga Morus" and "Perdixi", had illegally become residential villas. The Forestry investigation was started in 2019 by prosecutor Enrico Lussu and then passed to her colleague Rossella Spano who, after having requested the trial for all 102 suspects, at the end of the hearing which lasted about two years had requested 76 sentences including penalties between one year and one year and 10 months of imprisonment, but he had also requested 26 requests for acquittal.
The sentence
Upon reading the sentence which acquitted almost all the defendants, decreeing that there was no illegal development, many of the defendants present in the courtroom burst into tears and hugged their respective defenders. In addition to the sentences, they feared the risk of confiscation of their homes, which had been inhabited for some time. In the end, Judge Tedde declared the dispute against Angelo Murtas (56, Uta), Claudia Agus (55 years old from Uta), Giuseppe Moro (72, Uta) and Emilia Caboni (66, Uta), while Stefano Massa of Villaspeciosa died while awaiting the sentence.
