It's the most talked-about news in Italy.
On July 15, the Court of Cassation upheld a sentence of 14 years and 9 months for Mario Roggero, the jeweler from Grinzane Cavour who in April 2021 killed two of the three robbers who had just cleaned out his shop. His wife and daughter beaten and tied up, the safe emptied.
Under Italian law, the act was over: the robbers had turned their backs. By the logic of property, the violation was still in progress. As long as the stolen goods remain in the thief's hands, the invasion continues. Flight is the violation carried on by other means.
It wasn't the first time. Roggero had already been robbed in 2015: he, his wife and his daughter tied up, the two women locked in the bathroom, €300,000 in stolen goods. The security monopolist failed the same family twice. It collects taxes to protect you, doesn't show up, and when you protect yourself it punishes you. Then it orders you to compensate the families of the men who attacked you.
In a free market for security, the court would ask only one question: who initiated the use of force? Three men with a gun and a knife. Every consequence falls on whoever made that choice.
