Salvatore Raimondi, Convicted in Tommaso Onofri Kidnapping, Is Released

His release follows completion of a 20-year kidnapping term plus a separate extortion conviction.

Overview

  • Raimondi left the Forlì prison in recent weeks after spending the past year on semilibertà that allowed daytime work and evening return.
  • He was sentenced in an abbreviated trial to 20 years for the 2006 abduction and was not found responsible for the child's murder.
  • A 2018 definitive sentence of three and a half years for extortion against another inmate extended his custody beyond the kidnapping term.
  • Mario Alessi remains serving life for the kidnapping and killing, and Antonella Conserva continues a 24-year sentence for the abduction.
  • Tommy’s mother, Paola Pellinghelli, rejected talk of forgiveness and said the family feels condemned forever.
