Salvatore Raimondi Freed After Serving Sentences in 2006 Onofri Kidnapping

The release follows completion of a 20-year kidnapping term plus a later extortion sentence that prolonged his detention.

Overview

  • Raimondi left Forlì prison in recent weeks after a period of semi-liberty that allowed daytime work at a local company.
  • He received 20 years in an abbreviated trial for the abduction of 18-month-old Tommaso Onofri and was not held responsible for the murder.
  • Although that sentence concluded in 2022, he remained incarcerated due to a definitive 2018 conviction for extortion carrying three and a half years.
  • Tommaso’s mother, Paola Pellinghelli, told Gazzetta di Parma she refuses forgiveness and said her family feels permanently condemned.
  • Raimondi was the first to confess in 2006 to the kidnapping plan, while Mario Alessi is serving life for the killing and Antonella Conserva continues a 24-year term for the abduction.
