Milan, 20 Nov. (LaPresse) – The Court of Assizes of Bologna sentenced Giampiero Gualandi, 64, former commander of the local police of Anzola dell'Emilia, to life imprisonment for the murder of Sofia Stefani, 33, a former traffic warden with whom he had had an extramarital affair. The Court issued the sentence after a long deliberation. Deputy prosecutor Lucia Russo had requested life imprisonment. Gualandi's defence team, represented by lawyers Claudio Benenati and Lorenzo Valgimigli, had requested that the crime be reclassified as manslaughter. The reasons for the sentence will be filed within 90 days. On 16 May 2024, Sofia Stefani was killed by a shot fired from Gualandi's service pistol in the local police office.
