So who is Patrizia Reggiani and what is her life story? ET is breaking it all down.Patrizia was born in a small town outside of Milan on Dec. 2, 1948. While she wasn’t part of the high society, her father -- who made good money in trucking -- treated her to lavish gifts growing up. She quickly ascended the social ladder and began mingling with the top people in Milan, including the Guccis.
By 1993, Maurizio decided to sell his Gucci shares to Investcorp for $120 million after the company lost millions under his control. Patrizia, who had been involved with the brand throughout their time together, was not happy about it. Over the next few years, she voiced her desire to have Maurizio murdered.in 2016."But above all, this. Losing the family business. It was stupid. It was a failure. I was filled with rage, but there was nothing I could do. He shouldn’t have done that to me.
During the trial, it was revealed that Patrizia had four accomplices that carried out the murder including a hitman, a getaway driver, her former friend and psychic, Pina Auriemma , and Auriemma's friend who set up the hitman. Patrizia later expressed that she was upset with Maurizio and didn't want him to marry Franchi and disinherit their daughters.
While Patrizia claimed she was innocent and was blackmailed by Auriemma, she was found guilty in 1998 and sentenced to 29 years in prison. In 2000, an appeals court in Milan upheld the conviction but her sentence was reduced to 26 years. She actually turned down her first offer to be released in 2011 after she was told that she would be required to work.The Guardian.Life After Prison
