A tragic event that shook the community
On Wednesday 15th January, the community of Certaldo, in the province of Florence, will gather to say their last farewell to Maati Moubakir, the 17-year-old tragically killed last December 29 in Campi Bisenzio. The news of his death has sparked an outpouring of grief and indignation among residents, who are preparing to commemorate a young man whose life was cut short in a brutal way.
Funeral Ceremony Details
Maati's body will arrive in Certaldo, where she lived with her mother, grandmother, and sister. Starting Tuesday, her body will be laid to rest in the chapel of the Misericordia cemetery, allowing family and friends to pay their respects. The funeral ceremony will take place Wednesday at 10 a.m. in the church of San Tommaso, located in Piazza Boccaccio. This moment of recollection represents not only a farewell, but also an opportunity for the community to come together in a moment of reflection and solidarity.
The search for justice
The death of Maati Moubakir has led to the arrest of three young people, accused of aggravated murder. Among them, Denis Mehmeti, a 20-year-old from Prato, and two Florentines, Ismail Arouii and Francesco Pratesi, 22 and 18 years old respectively. The circumstances of the murder, which involved five stab wounds, two of which to the heart, have raised questions about youth violence and the futile motives that can lead to such acts. The community anxiously awaits the outcome of the investigation, hoping that justice can be done for Maati.
