Court, in Maltese murder red thread of revenge on women - Last hour. Carol Maltesi was "killed for a constant common thread, almost a common denominator of homologous crimes of the same nature: because she was not a man but a woman", punished with "vengeful intent" because she sought "her independence, economic and personal".

Court of Appeal of Milan wrote this in the reasons for the sentence with which, on 21 February, it increased the sentence for Davide Fontana, a 45-year-old banker.
