Franco Panariello was sentenced to five years in prison for mistreating and beating his wife, Concetta Marruocco, and their minor daughter. The decision was made by the criminal panel of the Court of Ancona, presided over by Judge Francesca Grassi.
Panariello, a 56-year-old worker originally from Torre del Greco (Naples), but resident for years in the Fabriano area, is also accused in another trial for the murder of his wife, which occurred on October 14, 2023. That day, the man killed Concetta with 39 stab wounds, despite being subject to an electronic bracelet prohibition, which did not sound any alarm at the time of the murder.
The crime took place in Cerreto d'Esi, in the province of Ancona. Concetta Marruocco, a 53-year-old nurse, had reported years of mistreatment suffered by both her and her daughter and had testified in court on September 13, 2023, recounting the abuses she had experienced during almost 20 years of marriage.
Despite the prohibition on approach, the device did not work properly on the day of the murder. Panariello, defended by the lawyer Ruggero Benvenuto, made spontaneous statements in court, stating that he had never beaten his wife or his children and maintaining that he had always loved Concetta.
He also blamed the tragedy on financial problems, citing a loss of €300.000 in his business importing furniture from France, and said he had been the victim of lies and humiliation. The defense announced it would appeal, arguing that key elements of the case had not been adequately considered.
