Solidarity Amidst Threats: A Call for Justice

Published: 2024-12-06

The recent threat against lawyer Giovanni Caruso, who defended Filippo Turetta, has sparked widespread condemnation.

Caruso received a letter containing bullets following Turetta's life sentence for the murder of Giulia Cecchettin.

Giulia's father, Gino Cecchettin, expressed full solidarity with Caruso, denouncing the intimidation as unacceptable in a civil society.

He emphasized that such acts undermine the serious work of the Giulia Cecchettin Foundation, which aims to promote justice and humanity.

Caruso, who has faced hostility for his defense role, insists on the importance of the right to defense, even in heinous crimes.

Authorities are investigating the threats, while Caruso remains under police protection.
