## Summary

Kaufmann has now been found guilty of murdering his partner and their 11-month-old daughter and sentenced to life in prison by a Rome court. The court also imposed three years of solitary confinement, bringing a verdict in a case that has drawn attention to his false identities and claims to be a film producer.

The bodies of Anastasia Trofimova, 28, and her daughter Andromeda were found in Rome’s Villa Pamphili park on 7 June 2025. Kaufmann was arrested on the Greek island of Skiathos six days later and extradited to Italy; his lawyer argued there was insufficient evidence, and Kaufmann is expected to appeal. He had also secured an €863,595 Italian tax credit in 2020 for a feature film that was never made.
