(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 15 - A Rome court on Monday accepted a
request for Gabriele Natale Hjorth, one of two young Americans
convicted of the homicide of Carabinieri police officer Mario
Cerciello Rega in the Italian capital in July 2019, to be
released from jail to house arrest.
The decision comes after Natale Hjorth's sentence was reduced on
appeal from 22 years to 11 years and four months earlier in
July.
The court ruled that he should stay under house arrest at his
grandmothers home in Fregene, a town on the coast near Rome.
