Throughout the proceedings, Kaufmann continued to deny killing Trofimova and their daughter. During an interview with CNN, he maintained, “I had nothing to do with it.”

His lawyer, Paolo Foti, also questioned the strength of the prosecution’s case, telling the court, “This is a trial based on circumstantial evidence, and circumstantial evidence is not proof.”

The judges ultimately found Kaufmann guilty of double homicide and concealing the bodies. His life sentence includes three years of daytime solitary confinement. His lawyer said he expected to appeal the decision.

The case also brought renewed attention to Kaufmann’s claimed filmmaking career. His production company, Tintangel Films, was linked to an Italian film project called “Stelle della Notte,” which received tax-credit approval worth approximately €836,000 despite never being produced.

The funding controversy triggered an investigation into the project and led to the resignation of Nicola Borrelli, then-director general of the Italian Culture Ministry’s cinema department.
