Three African youths were
convicted Thursday of raping a Polish tourist on a Rimini beach
after brutally beating her partner and then raping a Peruvian
woman a little later on August 26 in the Romagna resort in a
case that shocked the nation.
The three minors - two Moroccan brothers aged 15 and 17, and
a 16-year-old Nigerian - were sentenced to nine years and eight
months in jail after being found guilty on all nine charges.
The three were found to be the accomplices of a 20-year-old
Congolese man deemed the ringleader of the gang, Guerlin
Butungu.
Butungu has already been found guilty and sentenced to 16
years in jail.
