Lawyers representing German truck driver Wolfgang Rieke, accused of hitting and killing Davide Rebellin, have told a court in Vicenza, Italy, that a plea bargain agreement has been reached with public prosecutors. The 63-year-old is now likely to serve a three-year, 11-month sentence, with a request to serve the sentence under house arrest rather than in prison.
Rieke, who had previously been charged with driving under the influence of alcohol after a non-fatal hit-and-run, reportedly struck Rebellin with his truck in Montebello Vicentino on November 30, 2022.
