She loved what she did got up at 5 to go swimming, He asked for the key to the club to go to training. That a young person, at 25 years old, makes the decision to kill a young person too, is really unfair”, said the man, who asked that prosecutors and judges apply the necessary decisions to show society that one should not drink alcohol and then drive.

He also asked to remember Veronica and said about her: “She was an example for her children and many friends who knew what she put into this sport. She worked every day from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., taking time in the morning to swim, on weekends to ride a bike, and in the afternoon to run. I have no words They called me for a minute and my life and that of my children changed, that of all my friends, I really have no words.

A similar case in Palermo

“I ask people not to forget, as happened in Palermo, that a person was wearing that woman riding the bike lane. It seems that they forget, if the Vero thing does not come out, the alcohol is still there, measures have been taken, but the alcohol is still there and it is a weapon. Today I was left without Vero and my children were left without a mother and I have no more words, I want you to remember her, she was a great person”, closed the husband of Moreno’s victim.
