An Italian man's 30-year sentence
for strangling his ex was upheld Wednesday after the supreme
court struck down the controversial reduction of the term to 16
years because he had been hit by an "overpowering emotional
storm".
Michele Castaldo was again found guilty of murdering Olga Matei
in Riccione in 2016.
The case was closely followed after the controversy unleashed by
the "emotional storm" ruling, which was voided by the Cassation
Court.
The Cassation ordered a new appeals trial, which has now
confirmed the first-instance term of 30 years.
