罗马电—— 因策划杀害前夫毛里齐奥·古驰而臭名昭著的“古驰夫人”帕特里齐亚·雷吉亚尼,尽管有谋杀定罪记录,如今可能即将获得一笔巨额遗产。一项法院裁决将让雷吉亚尼掌控其已故母亲留下的2000万欧元(近2300万美元)财产。

雷吉亚尼曾因1995年预谋杀害前夫一案入狱18年。其前夫是古驰时尚帝国的继承人。她于1998年被判处29年监禁,但在2016年获得提前释放。

本周一,米兰一家法院宣布雷吉亚尼母亲西尔瓦娜·巴比耶里的遗嘱无效,称存在违规行为,该文件在法律上不具备效力。

这份引发争议的遗嘱将全部家族资产留给了一个名为“费尔南多与西尔瓦娜·雷吉亚尼基金会”的实体,该基金会由前家族律师毛里齐奥·恩里科·卡洛·贾尼创立、担任负责人并进行管理。但米兰法院认定,近期庭审中出示的证据削弱了该遗嘱的有效性。

据意大利媒体报道,巴比耶里于2018年在90岁高龄时,在公证人和其律师贾尼的陪同下,在病床上立下了这份遗嘱。

巴比耶里的管家在医院的会面现场,并使用手机记录了整个过程。这段录音成为本案的核心证据,法官发现录音内容与经公证的遗嘱内容存在出入,这也是法院最终判定最终遗嘱无效的原因之一。

贾尼曾因涉嫌不当影响遗嘱内容而单独接受刑事案件调查,但他在2024年被无罪释放。

管家在近期庭审中作证称,是巴比耶里本人指示她记录会面并保存录音,以防日后“出现问题”。

此案目前已移交米兰上诉法院。如果上诉法院维持原判,现年77岁、现居米兰的雷吉亚尼将恢复作为家族财产主要继承人的身份。这笔价值约2000万欧元的庞大遗产包括米兰的不动产和高收益租赁资产。

尽管曾雇佣杀手杀害前夫,雷吉亚尼每年仍能从前夫的遗产中获得约150万美元的赡养费。意大利上诉法院裁定,她有权获得这笔款项,因为离婚协议于1993年签署——比古驰遇早两年——因此仍然具有约束力。

这对夫妇的两个女儿亚历山德拉和阿拉格拉多次辩称,他们的母亲获得赡养费在道义上不可接受,但法院始终维持上诉法院的裁决。

两人于1972年结婚,成为国际上流社会的常客,在纽约和米兰拥有住宅,还拥有一艘超级游艇用于度假出行。他们的离婚手续于1994年最终完成。

一年后,当古驰走进办公楼时,一名穿着体面的杀手连开三枪将其杀害。

1998年11月,经过五个月的审判,帕特里齐亚及其四名同谋被认定犯有预谋谋杀罪。

导演雷德利·斯科特于2021年将这段故事搬上大银幕,电影《古驰家族》由亚当·德赖弗饰演毛里齐奥·古驰,嘎嘎小姐饰演帕特里齐亚·雷吉亚尼。

“Lady Gucci” Patrizia Reggiani, who had ex-husband and fashion heir murdered, could inherit a $23 million fortune

Rome— Patrizia Reggiani — better known as “Lady Gucci,” the infamous orchestrator of her ex-husband Maurizio Gucci’s assassination — could soon be handed a massive inheritance despite her murder conviction, following a court ruling that could give Reggiani control of her late mother’s 20 million euro (just shy of $23 million) fortune.

Reggiani served 18 years in prison for the 1995 premeditated murder of her ex-husband, who had been heir to the Gucci fashion house fortune. She was sentenced in 1998 to 29 years in prison, but got an early release in 2016.

On Monday, a Milan court invalidated the will of Reggiani’s mother, Silvana Barbieri, saying irregularities rendered the document legally void.

The contested will had left all of the family’s assets to an entity called the Fernando and Silvana Reggiani Foundation, which was formed, headed and run by former family lawyer Maurizio Enrico Carlo Giani. But the Milan court found that evidence cited during recent proceedings undermined the document’s validity.

According to Italian media reports, Barbieri executed her will from her hospital bed in 2018 at the age of 90, with the assistance of a notary and her lawyer, Giani.

Barbieri’s housekeeper was present during the meeting at the hospital and recorded the proceedings on a phone. That recording has become central evidence in the case, as judges identified discrepancies between what was captured in the audio and the contents of the notarized will, contributing to the decision to invalidate the final testament.

Giani was separately investigated in a criminal case over alleged undue influence over the contents of the will, but he was acquitted in 2024.

The housekeeper testified during recent proceedings that Barbieri herself instructed her to record the meeting and preserve the recording, in case “there were problems” later.

The case now moves to Milan’s Court of Appeals. If it upholds the ruling, Reggiani — now 77 and living in Milan — would be reinstated as the primary heir to her family’s fortune. The vast estate’s estimated 20 million euro value includes real estate holdings and high-yield rental assets in Milan.

Despite having hired a hit man to kill her ex-husband, Reggiani still receives approximately $1.5 million in alimony annually from his estate. An Italian appeals court ruled that she was entitled to the payouts because the divorce settlement was signed in 1993 — two years before Gucci’s murder — and thus remains binding.

The couple’s two daughters, Alessandra and Allegra, have repeatedly argued that it is morally unacceptable for their mother to receive the alimony, but courts have consistently upheld the appeals court’s ruling.

The couple married in 1972 and became a fixture in the international jet-set scene, with homes in New York and Milan and a mega-yacht to ferry them to vacation destinations. Their divorce was finalized in 1994.

One year later, as Gucci walked into his office building, a well-dressed hitman fired three shots that killed him.

In November 1998, after a five-month trial, Patrizia and her four accomplices were found guilty of premeditated murder.

Director Ridley Scott brought the drama to the big screen in 2021 in his movie “House of Gucci,” starring Adam Driver as Maurizio Gucci and Lady Gaga as Patrizia Reggiani.
