“The sentence, while it cannot eliminate the pain of Mario’s tragic loss, does him justice for the person he was: a very good boy and an excellent Carabiniere”. So Andrea Varriale, the soldier of the Arma who was in service with Mario Cerciello Rega, comments to the Adnkronos through his lawyer of the civil party at the trial, the lawyer Roberto Borgogno, the sentence that condemned Finnegan Lee Elder and Christian Gabriel Natale Hjorth to life imprisonment for the murder of the Deputy Brigadier of the Carabinieri. “It is a clear and important sentence for him and for all the Carabinieri who do their duty every day – underlines through his lawyer – because it allows them to continue to trust in justice and to keep alive the sense of their function”.
