Wolfgang Rieke, 63, received a four-year jail term for the collision that resulted in the tragic death of former pro cyclist Davide Rebellin, who had just retired.
Rieke's attempt at negotiated pleas were consistently rejected. He initially sought a reduced sentence to two years and 11 months, but both offers were dismissed by the court.
On November 30, 2022, Rebellin's life was abruptly conclude during a ride in Montebello Vicentino, evidencing the severe consequences of reckless driving in the case of Rieke.
The circumstances around Rieke's past include multiple incidents, including a previous hit-and-run in 2001 and a drunk driving charge in 2014, raising concerns about his driving behavior.
