In a deadly drama that played out in Italy's most fashionable city, a disgruntled ex-wife hired a team of accomplices to take down an heir to the Gucci empire. Patrizia Reggiani or Lady Gucci as she was popularly called, was convicted in 1998, for the murder plot of her ex-husband, Maurizio Gucci, in 1995. She hired a hitman to gun him down in his office foyer, resulting in her imprisonment. If Gucci didn’t take Reggiani’s calls, she sent him diatribes on cassette tape, later played in court, saying he was “a monster” for neglecting her and their daughters, and warning that “the inferno for you is yet to come”.
