Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Court of Cassation partially allowed the appeal regarding the execution of two life sentences for De Falco. The lower court commuted only the sentence linked to a conditional extradition to Spain into 30 years, leaving the other life sentence intact. The Supreme Court upheld this, ruling that the commutation applies solely to the specific sentence tied to the foreign extradition procedure, while the remaining life sentence remains subject to the statutory rule of daily isolation.
