Overview
- Marco Di Muro, convicted of killing 16-year-old Federica Mangiapelo in 2012, has left Rome’s Rebibbia prison and is currently under probationary assignment to social services.
- He is reported to complete his sentence in June 2026, with his lawyer saying he is seeking work but facing significant difficulties.
- Di Muro’s 14-year sentence for voluntary homicide was finalized after appeals and confirmed by Italy’s Court of Cassation in December 2017.
- The conviction followed a reopened investigation that overturned an initial natural-causes finding, with a collegial autopsy ruling drowning and forensic traces of lake algae found on Di Muro’s trousers.
- Authorities and defense accounts attribute his conditional release to good-conduct reports and rehabilitation in custody, while Federica’s parents publicly denounce the outcome and say he has never apologized.
