On June 22, the public prosecutor Letizia Cai closed her speech with a request for 2 and a half years in prison for the former cyclist (2 for injuries to the ex-wife plus 6 months for injuries to Giusti). Specifically, the prosecutor asked for 2 years for mistreatment and injuries against Mrs. Landucci, plus another 6 months for threats to Giusti. The story began on January 9, 2017, with the complaint of Landucci. The indictment already went into the details of the accusations: Cipollini allegedly committed “a series of acts damaging the physical and mental integrity of his ex-wife with punches, slaps, kicks, with injuries and death threats”.
