On 17 July 2015, the ERRC, Idea Rom Onlus and ASGI issued a statement which welcomes the conviction of six people for a violent attack in December 2011.

The structures of a Roma camp in the abandoned Continassa farmstead were set alight following false allegations of sexual violence against a young woman from the Le Vallette neighbourhood in Turin. They highlight the importance of the court's recognition of the underlying racial motive for the attack.
