His girlfriend died in the crash, Alberto Antonello sentenced to 8 months

Two years ago the tragic accident in Musile in which 18-year-old Giulia Zandarin lost her life. Minimum sentence for the young man, who claims to have been dazzled by the headlights of another car

CASTELFRANCO VENETO. Eight months of imprisonment. Exactly two years after the night of the frightening accident in which the eighteen-year-old from Castelfranco Giulia Zandarin lost her life, the judge for preliminary hearings Barbara Lancieri yesterday convicted Alberto Antonello, the young man from Castelfranco who was driving the Mercedes Classe, for road murder A, off the road along the state road 14 Triestina, in Fossetta di Musile di Piave. Today he is 21, then he was 19: he himself had remained in a pharmacological coma and then hospitalized for a long time. A Halloween night celebrated dancing in a disco in Jesolo, which began with a police check and the seizure of a few grams of hashish (the boy’s license had been withdrawn, but with the possibility of returning home), ended with the worst of nightmares.

Thus ended with the minimum penalty provided (also considering the discount of a third, granted by the shortened procedure), the trial against the boy, who yesterday made a long spontaneous declaration before the judge. The girl’s family has not filed a civil action.

“Alberto is still very shaken, he repeated his desperation for what happened”, says defense attorney Giuseppe Romano, who has already announced an appeal, learned that Giulia was dead. It only has the memory of two car headlights. ‘

Defense claims the car went off the road to avoid another overtaking car. But according to the reconstruction of the Public Prosecutor’s Office – the prosecutor Antonella Sartori had asked for a two-year sentence – there would have been no external causes and the Mercedes would have ended up in the ditch perhaps due to a sleepiness of the young driver. The two boys had been identified and rescued only on the morning of November 1, at 8.

Alberto Antonello – it is well known – is the son of Franco, founder of the social enterprise “The children of the fairies”, also well known for his travels and his relationship with his eldest son, a young autistic, who inspired the writer Fulvio Ervas and the film by Salvatores “All my crazy love”. –
