The Gucci's : The Last Fashion Victim (1997)



Released date unknown.
Filmed in Italy.
The story: On March 27,1995, the last living member of the famous fashion dynasty Maurizio Gucci was found shot three times at his new office in Milan.
At first, no one could figure out who would want to kill him, although he was known to be in millions of debt.
As Maurizio had burned many bridges with members of the Gucci family, not many of them attended his funeral.
Both of his daughters as well as their mother and his ex-wife Patrizia attended.
But people who spoke to Patrizia found her reaction to the whole situation very strange.
After police investigated the murder for two years the case went cold until there was a tip-off.
A man claiming he was part of an organization to kill the last Gucci man with his hands on the family enterprise said he was paid and directed by Maurizio's ex-wife, Patrizia.
When she was finally arrested she did not resist, although she made many claims, most importantly that she was not in any way involved or responsible.
After serving a year in jail, Patrizia was sentenced to 29 years in prison.
She had four accomplices, all of which received years in prison for their involvement as well with only the shooter getting life.
