Marco Toffaloni Appeals 30-Year Sentence for 1974 Piazza della Loggia Bombing

Marco Toffaloni, who was a minor at the time of the 1974 Piazza della Loggia bombing, has appealed his first-degree conviction of 30 years in prison for acting as the material executor of the attack. His defense contends that the Juvenile Court should have issued a definitive acquittal after a more thorough review of procedural elements. The appeal raises several objections, starting with the highly debated photographic evidence. While the first-degree judges identified Toffaloni in a image taken shortly after the massacre, his lawyer argues that the forensic report only indicated a “probable identification” rather than certainty. Furthermore, the defense notes that ten out of eleven witnesses failed to recognize Toffaloni as the unknown person seen in the square.
