Overview
- The award covers Astori’s partner Francesca Fioretti, their daughter Vittoria, and his parents and siblings.
- The sum is a provvisionale ordered in the criminal case, with the final compensation to be set by the civil court.
- Careggi authorized the payment because the physician acted as a public employee in an institutional role.
- The hospital could pursue recovery from former sports-medicine chief Giorgio Galanti if grave fault is determined, and coverage by a malpractice insurer has been reported as likely.
- In March 2025 the Supreme Court upheld Galanti’s one-year suspended sentence for manslaughter by omission tied to uninvestigated arrhythmias in 2016–2017 testing, and he was later convicted of false documentation in a related case alongside two other doctors.
