Italian shot two attackers outside his shop — convicted, now awaiting presidential pardon

Mario Roggero, a jewellery shop owner in Piedmont, shot and killed two men during a violent robbery in 2021. A court convicted him for exceeding the limits of self-defence, but the case has sparked fierce debate in Italy — many see him as a hero who protected his family. His supporters are now awaiting a possible presidential pardon from President Sergio Mattarella.
