Acquiring him for a case and granting him the partial mental vice for the episode of Terrazza Sentimento. In summary, this is the thesis supported by the defenders of Alberto Genovese, on trial in Milan for two sexual assaults. For almost five hours the lawyers, more likely to act as a bodyguard to the accused (accompanied and held by the hand by his sister) than to answer the questions of the reporters, argued – in the closed-door hearing – the reasons of their client .
Before the judge Chiara Valori, the lawyers of Genovese faced the case of the 23-year-old abused in July 2020 in a villa in Ibiza asking for acquittal “for the non-existence of the fact”. And Gianmaria Palminteri, defender of the ex-girlfriend Sarah Borruso, accused in competition with the former entrepreneur for this episode, also spoke of non-violence. On the other hand, the request for the case of the 18-year-old who three months later she would have been abused in the apartment in the center of Milan and made unconscious with a mix of drugs is different. The lawyers asked for “semi-infirmity” and therefore the minimum penalty: abuse of illicit substances and alcohol, along with a “moderate level autism spectrum disorder” diagnosed by the partisan psychologist, would have compromised the possibility of recognizing the lack of consent. Difficult to argue the absence of violence given the presence of internal cameras that have returned part of what happened that evening.
The prosecutor in the last hearing had asked for an 8-year sentence for Genovese, two years and eight months of sentence instead for the ex-girlfriend. In the next scheduled hearing on September 19 after the replies from the prosecution the verdict is awaited.
