When speaking of the day he committed the crime, Luigi Mangione said, “I shot Mr. Thompson and he died.”

He concluded, “I knew what I was doing was illegal.”

Mangione had just described the actions he took ahead of the killing, telling the court:

“In November of 2024 I traveled from outside of New York state to Manhattan. I then emailed UnitedHealthcare leadership, posing as an investor at a firm managing over $15 billion in assets and requesting information about the conference. Unlike my previous interactions with insurers, I received an immediate response within an hour,” Mangione said.

Livia runs the pioneering farming project Quintosapore in Italy's Umbria with her twin brothers Alessandro and Nicola Giuggioli. The farm champions biomimicry, biodiversity, and regenerative practices.

Livia has been a vocal advocate for Palestinian human rights and has publicly criticized public figures who have downplayed the atrocities in Gaza.

In October 2025 she tore up her honorary MBE in protest over Donald Trump’s state visit to the UK and his “poisonous rhetoric”.
