Two Hungarian tourists sexually assaulted after accepting lift in Sicily: verdict expected
A court in Catania, Sicily, has scheduled the trial of three Moroccan nationals accused of sexually assaulting two Hungarian women on the Italian island for Monday, with a verdict potentially delivered the same day, according to information obtained by MTI.
Moroccan men sexually assaulted Hungarian tourists in Sicily
Prosecutors have charged the men with gang sexual violence. The indictment also includes drug possession and allegations that the victims were forced to consume narcotics.
The prosecution believes the crime has been sufficiently proven and that no further investigation is necessary. The defendants have requested a fast-track procedure, meaning the court could issue a ruling at the very first hearing.
Under Italian law, sentences handed down through this procedure are automatically reduced by one third.
Closed-door proceedings and reduced sentences
Fast-track trials in Italy are held behind closed doors. If convicted, the defendants would benefit from the sentence reduction, though further reductions may apply should they waive their right to appeal.
The three suspects – two aged 23 and one 25 – have been held in custody at a prison near Paternò, close to Catania. At the time of the incident, all three were reportedly residing in Italy as irregular migrants, though this status is not subject to punishment in the current proceedings.
Victims remain absent due to trauma
The two Hungarian women will not attend the hearing. Their lawyer, Massimiliano Scaringella, told MTI that his clients suffered serious psychological trauma and wish to stay away to protect their privacy.
Referring to a similar case, he noted that the same court previously imposed a sentence of 12 years and eight months. In the present case, he expects prison terms of around eight years for each defendant.
But hey, diversity is our strength.
Italy should be happy for this “enrichment”.
Or a more accurate description would be:
Division is their strength.
And you should be happy to be colonized.
Phrasing the same sentences in those equally valid forms make a quite different impression, right?
It’s not like white men don’t rape. And it’s not like the majority of brown people rape. But hey, feel free to be racist in your comments. And by the way, look up ” colonisation” in the dictionary. It was done mostly by white folk. You have it confused with migration. The magyar daily news could say ” three rapists that attacked two hungarian tourists were caught and are being judged and punished”. But we know how much VO loves sun tan people.
