Rome, Jan. 27 (LaPresse) – The Bianchi brothers have shown “procedural behavior devoid of any signs of remorse.” This is written by the judges of the Fifth Criminal Section of the Supreme Court in the 13 pages of reasoning of the sentence by which, in November 2025, they finalized the life sentence for Marco Bianchi for the murder of Willy Monteiro Duarte. For his brother Gabriele Bianchi, however, a third-instance appeal process was ordered to reconsider the general mitigating circumstances, after he had been sentenced to 28 years on appeal. The Supreme Court confirmed criminal liability for voluntary homicide and finalized the sentences for the other two defendants, Mario Pincarelli and Francesco Belleggia. In the reasoning, the judges note how the “Court of Assizes of Appeal links” not only “the manner of the conduct not to the acceptance of the risk of the death event, but to a full adherence by the accomplices to the objective modalities of the action (number, direction, and severity of the blows inflicted to the vital parts of the victim’s body, struck with the use of martial arts; persistence and brutality of the violence against a defenseless person lying on the ground),” recalling the “capacity to commit crime,” also derived “from the behavior assumed and maintained before and during the commission of the crime,” furthermore noting the “indifference to the reasons for the dispute, considered a ‘concrete expression’ of dangerousness, a stubborn personality indifferent to the values of coexistence, also with reference to prior criminal records for drug trafficking, pending judicial cases, and the standard of living achieved through unlawful means.”
