Legislator summary

AI generated

The Court of Cassation declared the appeal inadmissible because the appellant introduced a necessity defense argument that was never raised during the appellate proceedings. The appellant, Mauro Castelli, attempted to claim self-defense or necessity against the second-instance judgment, but the court ruled this topic was outside the scope of the appeal act. Consequently, the appeal was rejected, and the appellant was ordered to pay procedural costs and a fine.
