Milan – The Tramontano family's anger continues to persist, more than two years after the murder of Giulia Tramontano, the seven-month-pregnant young woman stabbed to death by her then-boyfriend Alessandro Impagnatiello, a former bartender sentenced to life in prison on both counts.
This time, it's his sister Chiara who speaks out, using harsh words. She took to social media to attack not only the killer but also his family: "Dear judges, this is the kind of human scum who wants to access restorative justice. A family of ignorant murderers."
The outrage stems from the ruling by the Milan Civil Court that ordered Impagnatiello's sister-in-law—his brother Omar's wife—to pay the Tramontanos approximately €25 for purchasing the killer's car shortly after his arrest.
The story of the "missing" car
That very car, a small car, had been used by Impagnatiello to transport Giulia's body after the crime that took place on May 27, 2023, in Senago (Milan). The car had not initially been seized by the Prosecutor's Office due to a procedural error: only the rear floorboard was seized, where investigators found traces of blood.
Taking advantage of the loophole, Impagnatiello—already in prison—managed to grant his brother legal power of attorney over his assets through a notary. The car was then registered to his sister-in-law, in an attempt, according to the court, to make him appear penniless and avoid the seizure of his assets for compensation purposes.
"The Tramontano family wasn't interested in the car's financial value," clarified Giovanni Cacciapuoti, representing the victim's parents, brother, and sister, "but rather that the blood-stained car wasn't being driven freely."
The car is now missing: Impagnatiello's relatives reported an alleged theft last October, but the insurance company has not awarded any compensation.
The anger of family members
The civil judgment declared the sale null and void, deeming it an act aimed at subtracting assets from the defendant's estate, thus reducing the Tramontanos' guarantees of compensation.
A decision that reopens never-healed wounds in the family of the murdered young woman.
Chiara Tramontano, posting articles related to the case, recalled that Impagnatiello, despite serving two life sentences, had even requested restorative justice. This request was rejected last July by the judges because the former bartender never showed any concrete signs of "awareness" of the crime he had committed.
"Shame, shame. They call it law, but it's read as disgust," Chiara had already written after the appeal ruling, which, while upholding the maximum sentence, excluded the aggravating circumstance of premeditation, acknowledging only cruelty and the bond of cohabitation.
A crime that shocked Italy
Giulia Tramontano was stabbed to death 37 times on the evening of May 27, 2023, in the apartment she shared with Impagnatiello in Senago. Her body was hidden in the garage and, after several attempts to conceal it—including an attempt to burn it—was found in a crawl space four days later.
The murder shocked public opinion and the Senago community, becoming a symbol of the battle against gender violence.
