The President of the Republic may grant pardon pursuant to Article 87, paragraph 11 of the Constitution, following an investigation by the Minister of Justice. The decrees concern residual sentences and assessments of health, social reintegration and sentences already served.
The President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella signed - pursuant to the provisions of the art. 87 paragraph 11 of the Constitution - three pardon decrees, regarding which the Minister of Justice issued a favorable opinion at the conclusion of the required investigation. You can read it on the Quirinale website.
The first individual clemency decree was adopted in favor of A. A., born in 1972, sentenced to a total of seven years' imprisonment for crimes involving drugs and other crimes. In granting pardon for the remaining sentence to be served (five years, five months and ten days) the President of the Republic took into account the favorable opinions of both competent judicial authorities and the very serious and irreversible health conditions of the convicted person, for which the deferral of the execution of the sentence was ordered some time ago.
The other two pardon decrees - we also read on the site - concerned Guido Gianni, born in 1960, sentenced to twelve years and four months of imprisonment for the crimes of double murder and attempted murder, committed in 2008, as part of an attempted robbery of which he was the victim inside his own jewelery shop. The Head of State granted partial pardon, which extinguished three years and two months of imprisonment, taking into account the favorable opinion expressed by the supervisory magistrate and in consideration of the period of sentence already served (five years and three months). As a result of the partial pardon provision, the person concerned will have to serve a residual prison sentence of less than four years, thus allowing the competent supervisory court to apply the institution of probationary assignment to social services (art. 47 of the penitentiary system).
G. B., born in 1981, sentenced to ten years' imprisonment for drug-related crimes committed between 2002 and 2009. In granting the partial pardon - which extinguished one year and nine months of the prison sentence still to be served - the Head of State took into account the favorable opinion of the supervisory magistrate, who acknowledged the change in life of the condemned man, who has already started and consolidated a process of reintegration social, work and family, and the health conditions of one of his minor daughters. Also in this case, following the act of clemency, the residual sentence to be served falls within the limit that allows for the possible granting of the alternative measure of probation.
