MILAN – Turin's mayor and four others were convicted and sentenced to a year and six months in jail on Wednesday in connection with a stampede during a public viewing of the 2017 Champions League final, which was projected on a maxi-screen in one of the Italian city’s main piazzas.

More than 1,600 people were injured, including two women who later died as a result. Mayor Chiara Appendino expressed “bitterness” over the verdict in a Facebook post, and said that the decision should open a discussion on a mayor’s role.

She said she would appeal the decision. The stampede was set off June 3, 2017 after thieves used pepper spray so they could rob soccer fans during the confusion.
