A soccer game, a dead cop and a kitchen sink. Who knows how many times Antonino Speziale will have reflected on these three elements that influenced his life during his detention that lasted almost 8 years. For the man who was recognized as the perpetrator of the intentional murder of police inspector Filippo Raciti, time stopped in February 2007 when, following the Catania-Palermo derby, massive investigations were launched to identify those responsible for the death. the man of the state. A death that shocked public opinion and caused a radical change for fans with increasingly strict rules for access to stadiums.
Who knows how many times Antonino Speziale has thought about that basin of smoke and violence that had become the space in Piazza Spedini. He was only 17 years old, the son of a humble and hard-working family. He found himself at the center of a story of blood and violence and spent his youth in a cell: tomorrow, at the age of 25, he will try to regain possession of his life, of his existence. In recent months he had hoped to be able to leave sooner: his lawyer, lawyer Lipera, had asked to evaluate the end of his house arrest. His state of health, which has worsened considerably in recent years, was judged by his family as incompatible with prison.
But the hearings for the discussion of the possible concession of the procedure have been postponed to a few days before his release. And yet, right now that Speziale has finished serving her sentence, a heated debate has raged about her presumed innocence. The ultras often shout: “Free Botica” and not only those of Catania, many other Italian fans have supported the innocence of the young Catania fan as well as the curves of German teams like Bayer Monaco and Borussia Dortmund.
In recent weeks, the services of Ismaele La Vardera have revived the case: new testimonies that would speak of a tragic error and a police discovery that would have hit the inspector, the lack of a video that clearly indicates the face of the murderer. , the incompatibility of the sink with the physical damage that caused the death of Filippo Raciti. So the new revelations led the Etna prosecutor to listen to the envoy of the Hyenas, thus trying to clarify some statements that emerged after so many years of the events. And while we still wonder today what the truth is, Antonino Speziale will once again be a free man and will be able to regain possession of his existence.
