A former lifer who spent 32 years in
cramped cells in Italian prisons before being acquitted on
appeal is to get 30,000 euros in damages from the Italian state,
a Cagliari court ruled Thursday.
Beniamino Zuncheddu, a 59-year-old Sardinian ex-livestock
farmer, was convicted of a triple murder in 1991 and acquitted
and set free by the Rome Court of Appeal at the end of the
revision process.
The new was reported by the L'Unione Sarda newspaper Thursday
and confirmed to ANSA by Zuncheddu's lawyer, Mauro Trogu.
The lawyer is also waiting for the grounds for the sentence in
order to ask for compensation for unfair detention.
