Overview
- The Milan Court of Assise d’appello confirmed a life sentence in the second degree for Alessandro Impagnatiello over the May 27, 2023 murder of his pregnant partner in Senago.
- The court upheld aggravating circumstances of cruelty and exploitation of the domestic relationship but removed the premeditation enhancement.
- Prosecutors led by Maria Pia Gualtieri sought to reaffirm all aggravating factors, while the defense had argued to reduce the sentence to 30 years by excluding premeditation and cruelty.
- Appeal evidence detailed Impagnatiello’s confession to inflicting 37 stab wounds, his two failed attempts to burn the body and efforts to conceal it before confessing.
- Judges reserved a decision on Impagnatiello’s request to enter a restorative justice program, leaving that element of his appeal unresolved.
