That was the age of Carmela Frassanito when she commited suicide. She would have been 18 today and her father is asking justice for his doughter.She had been raped by 5 men in 2005.
All of them were identified and borught to justice. Luckily for them it is italian justice and so, as of today – 5 years after, this is how things are: the 2 that at the time were underage were not even sent to court, the trial for the 3 adults is still on, with one hearing every 6 months.
Chafik Elketani, a 21 years old from Morocco, was driving a car along state route 18 near Lamezia Terme in the Calabria region, south of Italy. He is on drugs. In the passenger seat besides him there is a child. He is 8 years old.
The car is going too fast and hit 10 people that were riding bicycles, killing 8 of them. And killing the child as well. Mr. Elketani didn’t have a driving license. It had been revoked 8 months before for dangerous driving.
Mr. Elketani was recently sentenced to 8 years in prison. One for ear he of the bikers killed. Nothing for the child.
The Court of Perugia ruled against IperCOOP (a very larges supermarket chain) in a judgment that was asked by Lacoste. The french company had sued IperCoop on the selling of a stock of polo shirt at a very, very low price. The shirts were in fact fakes. The supermarket company was yesterday sentenced to pay to Lacoste a total of nearly € 30.000,00 (about 39.000,00 USD).
The legal action was started in 2002. Yep, 8 years ago. That’s Italy…, but the sun and the food are just great!!
