One of the two Americans convicted in the 2019 stabbing death of an Italian plainclothes police officer has been granted house arrest after an appeals court significantly reduced his original life sentence.Gabriel Natale-Hjorth can serve his 11-year, four-month sentence at the home of a grandparent in the seaside town of Fregene, west of Rome , state-run RAI and LaPresse news agencies reported, citing a court decision Monday.
Italy's highest Cassation Court last year ordered a new trial, ruling that it hadn't been proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the Americans, with limited Italian-language skills, had understood that they were dealing with Italian police officers when they went to meet the alleged drug dealer.An appeals court earlier this month upheld their convictions but greatly reduced their original sentences.
