The Review accepts the appeal of the Prosecutor's Office against the Supreme Court. The defendant, 76 years old, remains in prison.
The Milan Review Court accepted the appeal of the Milan Prosecutor's Office and denied house arrest to Giuseppe Calabrò, who was sentenced to life imprisonment for his involvement in the murder of Cristina Mazzotti. The request to ease the precautionary measure had been made following a ruling by the Supreme Court of Cassation that recognized Calabrò's right to a less severe measure.
The Review Court's decision, made on October 29, 2026, thus ruled out granting house arrest and confirmed imprisonment for the 76-year-old man, known as 'u Dutturicchiu, a resident of Calabria but often in Milan. Calabrò has been in prison since late February, following his first-instance conviction.
The case concerns the murder of Cristina Mazzotti, an eighteen-year-old girl killed in 2020. The judicial process has been long and complex: on February 4, 2026, the Court of Assizes of Como sentenced Giuseppe Calabrò to life imprisonment for complicity in the aggravated murder of the girl. Following this conviction, Calabrò was imprisoned.
Subsequently, a ruling by the Court of Cassation opened a legal avenue, recognizing Calabrò's right to a precautionary measure less severe than imprisonment, such as house arrest. A request was made on this basis. However, the Milan Prosecutor's Office appealed this decision of the Cassation, arguing that house arrest should not be granted. The Review Court of Milan, examining the appeal, ruled in favor of the Prosecutor's Office, thereby blocking Calabrò's transfer to house arrest and keeping him in prison.
