Francesco Bellomo, the former judge and Nalin acquitted in Piacenza. They were charged with stalking and injuring a student

It ended with a ‘absolution complete process to Piacenza at the expense of the former judge of the Council of State Francesco Bellomo and the former prosecutor of Rovigo Davide nalin. The two were charged with stalking me injuries against a student from his training school for applicants magistrates. The prosecution, which had asked to sentence Bellomo to three years and four months and Nalin to one year and four months, affirmed that the young woman had been insulted, threatened and questioned about her sex life. The Piacenza gup, at the end of the trial abbreviated began in July 2018, however, decided to acquit both defendants of willful injuries because the fact does not exist, while the stalking hypothesis was held not actionable because the student has the complaint withdrawn after a conciliation between the parties.

The Bellomo case, however, does not stop there. At the expense of the former judge – accused by several students of having proposed scholarships for their school on the condition that they sign a contract which was required, among other things, to carry mini skirt and stub 12 – now procedure a Bari: in September both he and the former Rovigo prosecutor were sent for trial by mistreatment. The first hearing was set for December 3. The other trend, however, which is carried out by the Milan prosecutor’s office, was archivedProsecutors had accused the former judge of stalking and private violence against four students, but investigating judge Guido Salvini did not recognize any crime in his conduct. Although “many of the applications addressed to scholarship recipients seem inconferential with what are the normal characters of a academic collaboration relationship and have often persistently advanced through phone calls late in the afternoon and by sending emails, “wrote the Milan investigating judge,” they cannot be considered to be valid to integrate a habitual behavior of harassment and threat”.

“A very painful story ends, which had a Media impact very strong. As is often the case, when the truth is reconstructed in the process, the facts result from the perspective of the criminal evidence different from those represented in the media ”, is the comment of the defenders of Bellomo and Nalin, lawyer Beniamino Migliucci and professor Vittorio Manes. “In fact, the process is the place where a distinction must be made between behaviors possibly not shareable, maybe inappropriate from the ethical point of view and those criminally relevant. This distinction is fundamental in secular and liberal criminal law ”.
