(NewsNation) — Amanda Knox’s former boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, who like Knox was accused of murder, exclusively told NewsNation host Ashleigh Banfield he’s starting to believe the “court of Florence has something against us.”

“I’m disappointed” with Knox’s reconviction for slander, Sollecito said Wednesday on “Banfield.” “Each time we went, and I went, to ask for compensation for my time in jail that was the wrongful conviction, they denied it. Each time we went into the court, everything went bad.”

Curt Knox, Amanda’s father, also said he and his family are “very disappointed” with his daughter’s slander reconviction.

Amanda Knox was reconvicted in an Italian courtroom Wednesday even after she was exonerated in the 2007 killing of her British roommate while the two were exchange students in Italy.

The court found she wrongfully accused an innocent man of the killing. She will not serve any more jail time, given a three-year sentence counts as time already served.

The slaying of 21-year-old Meredith Kercher in the idyllic hilltop town of Perugia fueled global headlines as suspicion fell on Knox, a 20-year-old exchange student from Seattle, and her new Italian boyfriend of just a week, Sollecito.

Knox and Sollecito spent four years in prison after initially being convicted of Kercher’s murder before being exonerated by Italy’s highest court in 2015.

Rudy Hermann Guede, a drifter who was living in Perugia, was later convicted of Kercher’s murder in a fast-track trial.

Although he was given a 16-year prison term that included a ruling he did not act alone, Guede was released from prison in 2021 after serving 13 years. Recently, he was ordered to wear a monitoring bracelet and not to leave his house at night after being accused by an ex-girlfriend of physical and sexual abuse.
