President Sergio Mattarella on
Friday gave a convicted murderer a partial pardon, shaving two
years off his sentence.
Brescia native Antonio Monella, a construction boss, was
sentenced to six years two months and 20 days for shooting dead
an Albanian burglar who was driving off in Monella's SUV in
2006.
Monella was convicted of murder in June 2012. The sentence
was upheld in February 2014, and he was incarcerated the
following September 8.
The presidential pardon means Monella has less than three
years remaining on his sentence, which means he may be paroled
into the custody of social services.
