Overview
- The Corte d’Assise di Bergamo acquitted Bortolotti in both cases, judging Alice’s death not proven and deeming her not criminally responsible for Mattia due to total incapacity.
- Judges imposed a ten‑year security measure in a REMS after psychiatric evaluations found her socially dangerous.
- The prosecution sought life imprisonment and six months of solitary confinement, arguing both children were suffocated by their mother.
- Forensic work concluded Mattia died from acute respiratory insufficiency due to mechanical asphyxia, while Alice’s exhumation yielded no definitive findings.
- The court will issue its written motivations within 90 days, as prosecutorial disputes with the defense over expert work and records remain on the record.
