(ANSA) - FLORENCE, JUNE 09 - The Court of Appeal of Florence, overturning the first instance, acquitted "because the fact does not exist" Alessandro Albertoni and Luca Vanneschi, accused of attempted group sexual violence in the trial for the death of Martina Rossi, the 23 year old student died on August 3, 2011 falling from a balcony where she was on vacation in Palma de Mallorca. According to the accusation, the girl was escaping an attempted rape. On December 14, 2018, the Arezzo court sentenced the two defendants to 6 years. "There is nothing, Martina is no longer there, and justice is no longer there," was the comment of Bruno Rossi, Martina's father. Martina's parents watched the device read by holding hands. "Italian justice has stopped working previously," said Bruno Rossi. "What will I do tomorrow? I will keep my wife close. I am angry, the acquittal because the fact does not exist - he said - means to muddy the honor of Martina, it means to say that she flew down alone".
