Filippo Turetta, accused of murdering Giulia Cecchettin, recently met with his parents in a Verona prison.
During their first visit since his arrest, Turetta's father, Nicola, attempted to downplay the severity of his son's actions, stating, "You did something, but you're not a mafioso or a terrorist; you had a moment of weakness.
" This conversation, intercepted by investigators, has sparked outrage, particularly from Giulia's sister, Elena Cecchettin, who emphasized the need to reject the normalization of femicide.
She stated, "There are no monsters, but a systematic normalization of violence that we must confront.
" The upcoming trial for Turetta is set for September 23, and the public debate continues over the appropriateness of releasing the intercepted conversations, with many condemning it as voyeuristic and disrespectful.
