Today the Court of Assizes of Appeal of Milan sentenced Alessio Scalamanadrè to 21 years of imprisonment and his brother Simone to 14, confirming the first degree sentence issued by the Assizes of Genoa in February 2022.
The two brothers, as reported by Ansa, are accused of killing their father Pasquale, who was under investigation for mistreatment of his mother, by hitting him several times with a rolling pin at the height of an argument in their home in Genoa on 10 August 2020 .
The Court of Cassation, last November, had annulled with postponement the second degree sentence issued by the Genoese Court of Assizes of Appeal, with which Alessio had been sentenced to 21 years, taking into account the decision of the Constitutional Court which had decreed the illegitimacy of the article of the Red Code which prevented the generic mitigating circumstances from prevailing over the aggravating circumstance of a crime committed within the family, and of the appeal of the defenders who invoked the mitigating factor of provocation.
Finally, the prosecutor's appeal against Simone's acquittal was also accepted, with the Milanese judges being invited to adequately justify any new acquittal sentence.
