Couple Nardoni and Jatobá get back together after separation and serve an open prison sentence in the capital of São Paulo

Alexandre Nardoni and Anna Carolina Jatobá, convicted of the death of Isabella Nardoni in 2008, resumed their relationship in February 2025, after separating at the end of 2023. The couple, who progressed to the open regime in recent years, reside in the north of São Paulo and follow strict judicial rules, including night shifts and mandatory work. The rapprochement, confirmed by police investigations, takes place while they serve the remainder of their sentences of 30 and 26 years, respectively, for qualified homicide and procedural fraud. The court decision is based on good behavior during the prison period in Tremembé.

The crime shocked the country when it involved the throwing of a five-year-old girl from the sixth floor of an apartment in São Paulo. Technical expertise and testimony reconstructed the facts within 72 hours. Isabella’s mother, Ana Carolina Oliveira, expressed dissatisfaction with the couple’s current situation in recent interviews.

• Residence in a R$3 million apartment, owned by Nardoni’s father, in the Santana neighborhood.
• Authorizations for day trips and trips, such as holidays in Guarujá from December 2024 to February 2025.
• Monthly monitoring by the Public Prosecutor’s Office, with risk of regression to semi-open status due to violations.

Progression in Tremembé prison

Alexandre Nardoni served 16 years in Tremembé Penitentiary II, participating in work and studies that reduced 990 days of his sentence. Penitentiary reports record the absence of serious offenses during the period.

Anna Carolina Jatobá switched to semi-open status in 2018, but faced revocations in 2020 due to irregular contacts with family members. The final progression to open occurred in June 2023, after 15 years of compliance.

Limited interactions between the couple occurred during authorized conjugal visits. Initial temporary departures facilitated contacts before the separation in 2023.

Current daily routine details

Nardoni registered a real estate brokerage micro-company with the São Paulo Commercial Board in 2025, meeting the requirement for employment under the open regime. He maintains home confinement between 8pm and 6am, with activities permitted during the day.

Jatobá lives at a confidential address near Vale do Paraíba and uses her maiden name, Anna Carolina Trota Jatobá, changed in 2023. Her defense continues to be paid for by Nardoni’s family, totaling undisclosed amounts.

Police officers in August 2025 captured the couple shopping in the Santana neighborhood. Recent court authorizations include participation in family events, such as graduation and children’s weddings in 2024, where they acted as godparents.

Nardoni’s psychiatric reports indicate good behavior, with no contraindications for progression. The Public Ministry supervisescompliance with standards, with periodic assessments.

Children’s situation and family support

The couple’s two children, born in 2005 and 2007, have reached adulthood and live with relatives. They removed the Nardoni surname from documents in 2023, aligning with Jatobá’s change.

Antônio Nardoni, Alexandre’s father, offers logistical support, including housing in Santana. The family bears the full procedural costs for Jatobá.

Contacts with Ana Carolina Oliveira only occur in judicial contexts. Oliveira, a banker in São Paulo, advocates for reforms in the criminal execution system.

Repercussion of the case in the media and the law

The 2008 episode exposed flaws in initial expertise and child protection in condominiums. Police investigations used forensic evidence to convict the couple in 2010.

In 2024, São Paulo recorded 1,200 cases of domestic violence against minors, according to state data. Laws from 2010 increased the minimum compliance rate in a closed regime to 40% in heinous crimes against children.

The case inspired the series Tremembé, released in October 2025 on Prime Video, with actors in the main roles. Isabella’s family continues with actions for moral and material reparation.

Nardoni’s sentence ends in 2035, and Jatobá’s in 2032, with continuous supervision. The couple avoids public exposure, focusing on complying with court conditions.
