It took ten years and five legal proceedings to understand

how and why Martina Rossi died

, a 20-year-old Genoese girl who on August 3, 2011

fell from the balcony of the fifth floor of a hotel in Palma de Mallorca

where she was spending a few days on vacation together with his friends.

Martina did not commit suicide, but died desperately trying to escape rape

.

Sentence

"Justice has finally been done," said Bruno Rossi, Martina's father. "My wife and I did not want revenge, only the truth.

No one will be able to return my daughter to me, no one will be able to alleviate our eternal pain. But now Martina has regained her dignity

he deserves after all the mud thrown at him and we can remember it in the best possible way. "

The judges of the Italian Court of Cassation have confirmed a

three-year prison

sentence

against Alessandro Albertoni

, a motocross champion, and

Luca Vanneschi

, two thirty-somethings from Castiglion Fibocchi (a municipality near Florence)

for attempted group sexual violence.

Although both were already sentenced in the first instance to six years by the court of the Arezzo region, they were later acquitted on appeal by the Florentine judges and the Prosecutor's Office appealed to the Court of Cassation.

The suicide hypothesis

The attorney general already reiterated during the first trial that Martina Rossi had not committed suicide (one of the defense theses) but fell from the balcony of the fifth floor of a hotel in Palma de Mallorca where she was on vacation with some friends, because "I was trying to" escape gang rape. "

The investigating judge had

firmly accepted the reconstructions of the first two trials that had established that the "coexistence" of the two defendants in the hotel room in Palma de Mallorca, "had a negative influence" on Martina's reaction

, which, in the face of a state of shock and inability to defend himself, he chose the most difficult escape route ". Not the one from the door but the fatal one from the terrace climbing over the balustrade." But only to escape and not with suicidal intent.

The defense fought for acquittal trying to postpone the hearing with some judicial objections not recognized by the Court.
