Italy will ask US authorities to
pardon Chico Forti, an Italian citizen who was arrested in the
US in 1998 and sentenced to life in 2000 by a court in Florida
on premeditated murder charges, cabinet under secretary Riccardo
Fraccaro said on Tuesday.
Fraccaro said that over the next few months "we will possibly
meet the governor of Florida and US diplomatic representatives".
The government will also consider other options, including a
retrial and Forti's repatriation as detainee, he said.
