The lawyer Taormina asks to foreclose the villa of Cogne where the little Samuele was killed

Judicial dispute over the cottage in Cogne where the notorious crime took place. The lawyer Carlo Taormina wants to foreclose, Annamaria Franzoni has opposed and the case will be dealt with by the Court of Aosta. The legal challenge on the Montroz house where the little Samuel was killed on January 30, 2002, a crime for which his mother served a 16-year sentence, originates in the civil sentence that ordered Franzoni to compensate the criminal lawyer, who had been a his lawyer, for a non-payment of over 275 thousand euros, for defense in the trial.The object of the murder is therefore once again the object of opposition, at the time of trials at the center of innumerable appraisals and clashes between prosecution and defense experts, bitter battles fought by classrooms of justice in television salons, but also a place of mysteries never clarified on the dynamics of the crime. The sentence of the court of Bologna that accepted the reasons of the lawyer Taormina is enforceable from March 2017. The fees to be paid to Taormina were quantified at 275 thousand euros, which reach, in the act of precept, to over 470 thousand including VAT, interest and pension fund lawyers. On October 22nd in Franzoni the attachment was notified concerning what apparently would be the only asset that could be attacked: half of the property where the woman, now resident in the Bolognese Apennines, had also returned for a few days a year ago, after have concluded the sentence, served in recent years in house detention but with the prohibition of returning to the municipality of Val d'Aosta.
On 11 November Franzoni, assisted by the lawyers Maria Rindinella and Lorenza Parenti of the Bologna Bar, opposed the attachment, registering the procedure in Aosta. In practice, in addition to a flaw in the notification of the deed, it is claimed that the house is not distraint because it is inside a patrimonial fund, established in May 2009 by Franzoni and her husband Stefano Lorenzi. The execution judge Paolo De Paola set a hearing on December 11th. Taormina, which defended Franzoni until the appeal process, was assisted by his son Giorgio and by the lawyer Giuseppina Fodera of Aosta.
