Rieti, Marianella murder: five Sebastiani ultras arrested
The Mobile Squad of Rieti, assisted by officers from the Digos, has imprisoned four young men and placed a fifth under house arrest, all belonging to the organised supporters of Sebastiani Rieti Basket. The order was issued by the judge for preliminary investigations in the Sabine capital at the request of the investigating magistrates.
The five are under investigation for the assault on 19 October 2025 that caused the death of Marianella Raffaele on the S.S. 79, near Contigliano, after a match between the local team and Basket Pistoia. Four of them must answer for aggravated murder and attempted murder, with multiple aggravating factors, acting together. The fifth was placed under the less restrictive measure of house arrest.
The night after the crime, police had already arrested three members of the ultras group, who were then reached today by a new order that adds the charge of attempted murder. The investigations conducted in recent months made it possible to reconstruct the active roles played by those arrested during the punitive expedition.
The Prefect of Rieti had already issued Daspo orders against the five following the violent incident. The positions will now be examined by the Court during the trial proceedings. It should be noted that those under investigation enjoy the presumption of innocence until final conviction.
