Il full video that frames the seven young people arrested for the rape that took place at the Foro Italico in Palermo on 7 July, he was recovered. According to the investigators it would be the footage recovered from the 22-year-old’s cell phone involved, the oldest of the group, the only one who knew the girl.

Rape in Palermo, what happened: from the violence against the 19-year-old girl to the arrest of the 7 boys
The seven were distributed among the prisons of Sicily West, Termini Imerese, Trapani, Agrigento, Sciacca, Favignana and Castelvetrano. In recent days, his transfer from the Palermo prison had been requested for fear of possible retaliation by the other inmates.
Up to this moment there had been talk of videos of a few seconds that the 22-year-old would have sent “to whom should I send them” and then deleted them from the phone. But according to the Corriere della Sera it would be a 15 minute video. Just that sentence, intercepted,”I’m sending them to whoever I had to send them” aroused the attention of investigators. The suspicion is that the boy wanted to sell that video.
And it is no coincidence that after the story catalysed the attention of the media, the hunt for the video would have started in some Telegram channels, with even economic offers to those who managed to recover it. However, those who have tried to look for it have come across at most a few scams.
