Eight Carabinieri including
high-ranking officers were indicted Tuesday for alleged
cover-ups of the truth in the police brutality death of Rome
draughtsman Stefano Cucchi in 2009.
This is the fourth trial stemming from Cucchi's death.
In the main one, a Carabiniere has turned informant and told
the court that colleagues beat Cucchi so badly he couldn't stand
up.
In this fourth trial, the chain of command that spawned fake
reports on the draughtsman's health after his arrest on a minor
drugs possession charge will be exposed, prosecutors said.
The first hearing is set for November 2.
