Italy: jeweler Roggero incarcerated following final conviction to 14 years in prison
Mario Roggero, a jeweler from Grinzane Cavour convicted to 14 years and 9 months in prison for killing two burglars during a robbery on April 28, 2021, entered Bollate prison in Milan on July 17, 2026. Italy's Supreme Court of Cassation, the country's highest judicial authority, has definitively upheld his sentence. The case has triggered widespread debate on self-defense in Italy and highlighted deep mistrust of the judiciary: nearly half of Italians distrust the judicial system.
