Marco Venturi, 40, who was accused of
the death of his ex-girlfriend, 37-year-old fashion designer
Carlotta Benusiglio, who was found hanged with a scarf from a
tree in the gardens of Piazza Napoli in Milan on the night of 31
May 2016, was definitively acquitted after almost eight years by
the supreme Court of Cassation Wednesday.
The Cassarion rejected an appeal by the Milan Public
Prosecutor's Office, which had asked to annul the second-degree
verdict of acquittal.
In that verdict, the first instance sentence of 6 years for
death as a consequence of stalking had been cancelled, even
though the Public Prosecutor's Office had insisted on murder, a
hypothesis also rejected by the Court of Appeal.
