Killed by cancer treated with herbs and herbal teas, saint acquitted. The victim's sister: "Disturbing"

Sentence overturned on appeal in Genoa for the death of Roberta Repetto, the 40-year-old from Chiavari who died in October 2020 from the metastasis of a tumor treated with herbal teas and herbs by a "holy man" and his collaborators from the Anidra holistic center in Liguria.

Paolo Bendinelli, manager and guru of the centre, was acquitted while the sentence for the Brescia doctor Paolo Oneda was reduced from 3 years and 4 months to 1 year and 4 months . For the psychologist Paola Dora, the acquittal was confirmed. Repetto was also subjected, without anesthesia, to the removal of a mole on the kitchen table of the center.

«It is good practice to accept and respect the sentences but I think it is humanly painful for me, at this moment, to be able to do so», commented Rita Repetto, Roberta's sister: «Today I am truly speechless - she adds -, embittered and sad because my sister he didn't get the justice he deserves. It's shocking."
