Hanged designer's ex definitively acquitted

(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 8 - 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. (ANSA).
