Four convictions for the murder of Luca Sacchi, killed in Rome on 23 October 2019.
The Court of Assizes sentenced Valerio Del Grosso , the material author of the murder, to twenty-seven years in prison, at the age of 25 Paolo Pirino, who participates in the assault, and Marcello De Propris , who handed over the murder weapon. Anastasiya Kylemnyk sentenced to 3 years and a fine of thirty thousand euros , accused of violating the law on drugs. On the other hand, Armando De Propris, Marcello’s father, was acquitted.
This is the sentence decided by the judges of the Court of Assizes of Rome, in the trial for the murder of Luca Sacchi, killed with a gunshot to the head on the night between 23 and 24 October 2019 in front of a pub in the Colli Albani area . In the courtroom, at the reading of the sentence, which arrived after more than 10 hours in the council chamber , the accused and the victim’s family were present. The judges also ordered a provisional amount of over 1 million euros in favor of the Sacchi family. “There was gratuitous violence. Luca Sacchi had his whole life ahead of him ”said the prosecutor Giulia Guccione in her indictment of last February 11, when she asked for a life sentence for Del Grosso, 30 years for Pirino and for Marcello De Propris, 4 and a half years for Anastasiya Kylemnyk, for the sale of drugs. For De Propris’s father, Armando, accused of holding the gun, the prosecutor had asked for absolution for not having committed the crime.
Luca Sacchi was killed with a gunshot to the head in front of a pub in the Colli Albani area while he was in the company of his girlfriend Anastasiya and some friends. The crime had a great uproar in the capital. The murder took place as part of a negotiation between Luca Princi , a friend of Sacchi and sentenced in short to 3 yearsdefinitively for violation of the drug law, and a group of drug dealers in the San Basilio district. In fact, Princi allegedly put in the backpack, which Anastasiya had with him that night, the 70 thousand euros necessary for the purchase of drugs, but neither the money nor the drugs were later found .
Also for this reason, during the indictment, the prosecutor said he did not know why Sacchi was killed. ” The reason escapes me today.The backpack was in Pirino’s hands. The trigger was pressed by Valerio Del Grosso with gratuitous violence … there was no reason-said the prosecutor Giulia Guccione during the indictment during which she had asked for a life sentence and two 30-year sentences. The bullet pierced Luca’s head and left him no way out. “” We are satisfied, there was no life sentence but 27 years are a long time. Justice has been done. I don’t know what to say about Anastasiya, never a word from her. In the courtroom with us only Armando De Propris apologized, she did not. “So Alfonso Sacchi, Luca’s father, after the four sentences of conviction in the trial for the murder of his son. ” Luca died to help Anastasiya and she must not forget it– continues Tina Galati, mother of the victim – Life imprisonment was given to us, for life “.” We cross paths with Anastasiya, but not talk – Alfonso Sacchi continues – I don’t expect anything from her anymore. For me it is important that my son came out clean and that the shooter took a severe sentence “. After the sentence, Anastasiya did not make any statements. His defender Giuseppe Cincioni, leaving piazzale Clodio, said that the outcome of the trial” cannot. satisfy but with equal clarity I say that the sentences must be read before being commented on. We are ready to assert our considerations in the natural seat of the appeal “.
