Giacomo Bozzoli has disappeared, he must serve a life sentence but he cannot be found: he killed his uncle in 2015
The 39-year-old from Brescia was definitively sentenced to life imprisonment by the Court of Cassation, but when the Carabinieri went to get him to take him to prison they couldn't find him: the search began
BOLOGNA – The trial ended with a third life sentence in the Supreme Court, but he disappeared into thin air. ‘He’ is Giacomo Bozzoli, a 39-year-old from Brescia who – the verdict of all the judges who dealt with the case is unanimous – on 8 October 2015 in Brescia killed his uncle Mario and then he threw his body into the oven of the family foundry. Yesterday the ruling from the Supreme Court arrived (which is added to the previous two convictions obtained at first instance and on appeal) and therefore the conviction has become final. But he doesn’t know where he is. Until now, Bozzoli had never appeared in court for the trial. He was in a state of freedom and did not have a precautionary measure. And now he would be untraceable. In the house on Lake Garda where he said he was, the Carabinieri found no one last night. The searches began immediately.
PREVIOUS CONVICTIONS
The 39-year-old was sentenced first by the Court of Assizes of Brescia on 30 September 2022 and then by the Court of Assizes of Appeal on 17 November 2023. Finally, yesterday the conviction was confirmed by the Court of Cassation, to which Bozzoli’s lawyers had appealed against the second instance sentence, complaining of procedural defects. The foundry where Giacomo Bozzoli supposedly threw his uncle’s body is located in Marcheno, in the province of Brescia. Uncle Mario, brother Adelio (Giacomo’s father) and Mario’s children worked in the foundry. The crime occurred on October 8, 2015. The young man’s father has always considered him innocent. Bozzoli was sentenced to life imprisonment with daytime solitary confinement for one year.
THE ABNORMAL SMOKE
According to what was reconstructed by the investigations, Mario Bozzoli’s body was burned in the foundry oven: that day, at 7.18 pm, the foundry made an anomalous smoke. A few minutes earlier, around 7.15pm, the entrepreneur had made a final phone call to his wife telling her that he would have dinner in a restaurant near his home. There was an immediate suspicion that it was a murder. The motive would have been linked to economic reasons and discussions for the management of the foundry.
