Turin Mayor Chiara Appendino was
convicted and received a suspended sentence of a year and a half
Wednesday over a stampede among fans watching the 2017 Champions
League final between Juventus and Real Madrid in Turin's central
San Carlo square in which three people died and at least 1,672
were injured.
The stampede on 3 June 2017 happened when panic spread in the
Piazza San Carlo after a robbery attempt.
Appendino and four other defendants all got a suspended sentence
of 18 months.
The prosecutor in the case said Appendino bore management
responsibilities in the case, and not just political ones.
