A total of 240 people have been
awarded compensation as "offended parties" in the 2017 soccer
fan stampede in Turin, ANSA learned Friday on the sidelines of a
preliminary hearing on the incident for 15 defendants, including
Turin Mayor Chiara Appendino, at the Turin court.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was recognised in
several cases.
About 80 people still haven't reached a settlement on
damages, while five others have asked to bring a civil action.
Four Moroccan nationals were sentenced in May to just over 10
years in jail for sowing panic in Turin's Piazza San Carlo on
the night of June 3, 2017, during the screening of a Champions
League final, in an incident in which two women died and 1,672
people were injured.
The men used pepper spray to steal money as a large crowd was
watching the Juventus-Real Madrid match on a maxi screen in the
square, causing the deadly stampede.
