The surveillance court of Florence ordered the detention under semi-liberty regime for Alessandro Albertoni and Luca Vanneschi, the two thirty-year-olds from Castiglion Fibocchi (Arezzo) definitively sentenced by the Supreme Court to 3 years of imprisonment for attempted sexual violence against the Genoese student Martina Rossi.
The girl died at the age of 20 on August 3, 2011, falling from the terrace of a hotel room in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, in an attempt to escape.
In the hearing before the surveillance court, held on 29 September, the Attorney General had asked for the alternative measures to be rejected, while the defenses of both convicts had asked for probation to the social services.
The court decided on detention under a semi-liberty regime and yesterday, Friday 7 October, the general prosecutor received the decision and issued the execution order.
Also yesterday, in the afternoon,
Albertoni and Vanneschi had constituted themselves in the Arezzo prison.
Martina's father: semi-liberty is an undeserved half reward
"The semi-release granted to the murderers of my daughter is an undeserved half reward. I would have been happier if they had remained in prison and I wonder: what jobs can they do? One was running on a motorbike, the other I don't know has ever worked".
Bruno Rossi, Martina's father, said this when commenting on the news of the semi-release for Albertoni and Vanneschi.
"I am deeply saddened but at least they did not have the public utility jobs, also because they did nothing to deserve it."
