Monaco court jails man for 19 years over 2022 stabbing attack
By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
A Monaco criminal court has sentenced Jean-Charles Mulini to 19 years in prison for the attempted murder of his former partner in an attack that took place in April 2022.
A Monaco criminal court delivered its verdict on Friday evening, sentencing Jean-Charles Mulini to 19 years in prison following four days of hearings. Mulini was convicted of the attempted murder of his former partner in a case that has drawn considerable attention across the Principality.
The attack at the centre of the proceedings took place in April 2022 and was described in court as a sustained and violent assault. The four-day trial examined the circumstances of that night in detail before the bench returned its judgment.
The sentence is among the most severe handed down by Monaco's criminal courts in recent years and reflects the gravity with which judges treated the violence involved. Domestic and intimate-partner violence has been a subject of growing policy focus in the Principality, and the case is likely to intensify that conversation further.
