Alexandre Nardoni and Anna Carolina Jatobá get back together after separation and live in an open regime in São Paulo
The São Paulo Court authorized the progression of Alexandre Nardoni and Anna Carolina Jatobá to the open regime in recent years, allowing the couple to serve the remainder of their sentence outside the prison system. Convicted in 2010 for the death of Isabella Nardoni, aged 5, in an apartment in the north of São Paulo in March 2008, they currently reside in the metropolitan region. The rapprochement took place in February 2025, according to reports from police investigations and recent flagrant incidents.
The crime involved the child being thrown from the sixth floor after being attacked, a fact proven by technical expertise. Nardoni, the victim’s father, and Jatobá, stepmother, received sentences of 30 years and 26 years, respectively, for qualified homicide and procedural fraud. The court decision considers the time served in Tremembé, in the interior of São Paulo, and favorable assessments of conduct.
Prison trajectory at Tremembé prison
Penitentiary II of Tremembé housed Alexandre Nardoni for 16 years, where he participated in work activities and studies that redeemed 990 days of his sentence. Reports from the prison administration highlight the absence of serious disciplinary offenses during the period.
Anna Carolina Jatobá transitioned to the semi-open regime in 2018, but faced temporary revocations due to irregular contacts with family members in 2020. The final progression to the open regime came in June 2023, after serving 15 years in the women’s unit.
The prison, known for housing high-visibility inmates, facilitated limited interactions between the couple during visits. Judicial authorizations for temporary departures allowed initial contactsis before the separation in 2023.
Details of rapprochement in 2025
Former delegate Jorge Lordello revealed in February 2025, during a podcast interview, that Nardoni and Jatobá resumed their relationship after the end of their separation at the end of 2023. The information gained repercussion on social networks and press outlets.
The couple, who met in 2004 on the recommendation of mutual friends, had two children before the crime, now aged 20 and 18. Rumors of Nardoni’s involvement with an ex-girlfriend named Patrícia circulated in 2024, but were not confirmed.
Camps in August 2025 showed the two shopping in the Santana neighborhood, north of São Paulo. Isabella’s mother, Ana Carolina Oliveira, expressed public discontent with the situation in statements to the press.
- Current residence: Apartment in Santana, owned by Nardoni’s father, valued at R$3 million.
- Allowed activities: Daytime work and nighttime pick-up between 8pm and 6am.
- Authorized trips: Holidays in Guarujá from December 2024 to February 2025, proven by tolls.
Current routine in freedom cconditional
Alexandre Nardoni registered an individual micro-company in 2025 with the São Paulo Commercial Board, focused on sales and real estate brokerage. The initiative meets the requirements of the open regime, which requires regular employment.
Anna Carolina Jatobá lives near Vale do Paraíba, at an address kept in judicial secrecy, and maintains her defense paid for by Nardoni’s family. She changed documents to use her maiden name, Anna Carolina Trota Jatobá, in 2023.
Recent court authorizations include participation in family events, such as a son’s graduation in 2024 and a wedding ceremony in March 2024, where he acted as godparents. These commitments aim to strengthen ties, according to defense requests.
The Public Prosecutor’s Office monitors compliance with the rules, with the possibility of regression to semi-open status for violations. Nardoni’s psychiatric reports indicate good behavior, with no contraindications for progression.
Reflections of the case in São Paulo society
The 2008 episode generated debates about failures in initial expertise and child protection in residential condominiums. Police investigations reconstructed the sequence of events within 72 hours, based on testimony and forensic evidence.
- Related statistics: In 2024, São Paulo recorded 1,200 cases of domestic violence against minors, according to state government data.
- Preventive measures: 2010 laws toughened penalties for heinous crimes against children, raising the minimum to 40% compliance in closed regime.
- Media impact: The case inspired productions such as the series Tremembé, released in October 2025 on Prime Video, with actors playing the condemned men.
Isabella’s family continues legal action for reparations, while the couple avoids public exposure. Serving the sentence continues until 2035 for Nardoni and 2032 for Jatobá, with monthly supervision.
Situation of children and family network
The couple’s two children, born in 2005 and 2007, live with relatives and recently reached the age of majority. They removed the Nardoni surname from documents in 2023, aligning with Jatobá’s change.
Antônio Nardoni, Alexandre’s father, provides logistical support, including housing in Santana. The family paid the full procedural costs for Jatobá, totaling undisclosed amounts.
Contacts with Isabella’s biological mother occur in limited judicial contexts. Oliveira, a banker in São Paulo, maintains activism for reforms in the criminal execution system.
