ROME (Reuters) - Turin mayor Chiara Appendino was found guilty on Wednesday of involuntary manslaughter in connection with a stampede during a screening of the 2017 Champions League soccer final that killed two people and injured hundreds.

Three other officials and an events organiser were also convicted in the case, all receiving suspended 18-month prison terms.

Investigators said the mayhem had been triggered by a group of thieves who used pepper spray to disorientate their victims. Four Moroccans were sentenced to just over 10 years in jail in 2019 for their role in sparking the chaos.
