Turin ex Mayor Chiara Appendino was
reconvicted and again received a suspended sentence of a year
and a half from an appeals court Tuesday over a stampede among
fans watching the 2017 Champions League final between Juventus
and Real Madrid in Turin's central San Carlo square in which
three people died and at least 1,672 were injured.
The stampede on 3 June 2017 happened when panic spread in the
Piazza San Carlo after a robbery attempt.
Appendino and four other defendants all got, again, a suspended
sentence of 18 months after an appeals trial for causing a
disaster, bodily harm and manslaughter.
The prosecutor in the case said Appendino bore management
responsibilities in the case, and not just political ones.
