The Ukrainian girlfriend of a
24-year-old Roman personal trainer gunned down in Rome in
October was among six people sent to immediate trial on Friday.
Anastasia Klymenyk, also 24, was sent to trial in the part of
the Luca Sacchi murder case relating to the purchase of a large
amount of drugs, a deal which went wrong and resulted in what
prosecutors say was a premeditated killing.
Sacchi's boyhood friend Giovanni Princi, the alleged brains
behind the deal, was also indicted, as were the pair who
attacked Sacchi, alleged San Basilio area pushers Valerio Del
Grosso and Paolo Pirino.
Sacchi was allegedly killed by a single shot to the back of
the neck by Del Grosso on October 23.
Another man, Marcello De Propris, was charged with complicity
in murder for allegedly supplying Del Grosso with the gun, as
well as his father Armando, charged with possessing narcotics.
Klymenk told police she had been assaulted along with Sacchi
and alleged thieves had taken her rucksack.
She denied that 15 kg of drugs found in the backpack belonged
to her.
But police believe she was part of the alleged drug deal that
went wrong.
The trial in the case, which increased concern about
lawlessness in the Italian capital, is expected to start next
month.
