Matteo Lazzaro

Matteo Lazzaro is an Italian lawyer known for his commitment to justice, particularly in cases involving wrongful imprisonment. He gained significant attention for representing a Romanian woman who was wrongfully incarcerated in Italy for nearly three years, despite having already served a sentence for the same offenses in Romania. His successful advocacy led to a ruling by the Court of Appeal in Bari, which ordered the Italian state to compensate her with over 260,000 euros for her illegal detention.
