The former boyfriend of Amanda Knox, Raffaele Sollecito, is apparently going to be in town on Friday to interview with a tech company on the Eastside.
According to the West Seattle Herald, 27-year-old Sollecito will visit supporters at a Bellevue home after talking with a tech company, possibly Microsoft or Nintendo.
Sollecito will thank people who supported him and Knox while the two were imprisoned for almost four years in Perugia, Italy.
Sollecito and Knox were convicted in the murder of Knox’s British roommate, Meredith Kercher, and sentenced to 25 and 26 years, respectively, in prison. Both of their murder convictions were overturned in Oct. 2011.
The pair’s relationship never really got off the ground and appears to have ended in Italy. Sollecito is planning to marry an Italian volleyball player, Annie Achille, according to the ANSA News Agency. Knox has her own love interest she has been seen around town with guitarist James Terrano.
It’s not known yet whether the two will meet up during Sollecito’s visit.
The Herald reports Sollecito has recently been spotted in the Los Angeles area. He finished his computer science degree while in prison.
