The Milan Court of Assizes of Appeal has rejected the request for access to restorative justice presented by the defense of Alessandro Impagnatiello , who was also sentenced to life imprisonment in the second instance for the murder of Giulia Tramontano, his girlfriend who was seven months pregnant.
The decision, announced by President of the Court Giuseppe Ondei, is based on the fact that the reasons underlying the request were deemed irrelevant to the assessment of the admissibility of sending the defendant to the restorative program. In other words, the judges found that the conditions for granting this form of alternative justice were not met in Impagnatiello's case.
The convictions and decisions already made in the trial thus remain in place, while the request for restorative justice was officially rejected.
