A judge in the Tuscan city of Arezzo
on Monday shelved the case against a 60-year-old tyre dealer who
killed an alleged robber in November 2018.
Fredy Pacini shot dead Vitalie Tonjoc Mircea, a 29-year-old
from Moldova, after he entered his dealership at Monte San
Savino, near Arezzo, with other men with the apparent intention
of holding it up.
"It's the end of a nightmare," said Pacini via his lawyer,
Alessandra Cheli.
The preliminary hearings judge said Pacini "acted in panic" and
was not liable under the new self-defence law brought in by the
nationalist League party two years ago, similar to US 'stand
your ground' laws.
