Acquitted because the fact does not exist. With this formula Marino Vincenza, Marano Maddalena, Miraglia Rachele, Di Maio Michela di Mondragone were acquitted. The acquittal was issued by the president of the first criminal section of the Sammaritan Tribunal, Dr. Giovanni Caparco.
The defense arguments of the lawyers Raffaele and Gaetano Crisileo, Edmondo Caterino, Marta Ceraldi and Francesco Lavanga who assisted the defendants throughout the trial were fully accepted.
The hearing Public Prosecutor, Dr. Gionata Fiore, had requested a sentence of 2 years and 6 months for Rachele Miraglia and 1 year and 6 months for prison for the others.
The charge is serious and complex: forgery of a public document for electoral fraud in the 2015 regional elections. According to the public prosecution and the civil party, when he had carried out his duties as a scrutineer at the polling station no. 22 in Mondragone, he had written - in his own handwriting on some blank ballots - the name of the Mondragone candidate Giovanni Zannini.
The graphological consultant of the Prosecutor's Office, Dr. Raffaella Laddaga, was totally denied by Prof. Alberto Bravo, president of the Institute of Italian Graphology and emeritus at the University of Urbino, whose thesis was supported by lawyers Crisileo on behalf of Marino Vincenza; a thesis then also accepted by President Caparco who pronounced, after a long deliberation, the sentence of acquittal for all.
