Sardinian prosecutor’s office calls for referral to trial for rape of Ciro Grillo, son of the founder of the Five Star Movement.
The prosecutor’s office of Porto Pausanias in Sardinia has requested the referral to trial of Ciro Grillo, son of the founder of the “Five Star” movement, Bebe Grillo , on charges of rape .
The case concerns the Italian-Norwegian complaint that he was raped by Ciro Grillo and three of his friends, in July 2019, after a night they had spent together in a club.
The first hearing was scheduled for 25 June.
Grillo’s son and three friends are accused of gang rape.
The young men claim that it was a sexual encounter, which took place with the consent of the girl, but she herself testified to the prosecutors that she had been forced to drink alcohol and was not aware of what was happening.
At the same time, the four defendants took video with a mobile phone and sent it to other people, without the consent of the girl.
Last April, Bebe Grillo tried to defend his son with a video message via the internet, in which he said, among other things, that a girl who was raped did not go surfing the next day and did not file a lawsuit eight days after the incident. .
The vast majority of reactions on social media were negative, as Bebe Grillo’s intervention was considered sexist, deeply offensive and highly biased.
