Convicted mail bomber Guido Amsel sentenced to life in prison

Convicted mail bomber Guido Amsel has been sentenced to life in prison for attempting to murder his ex-wife and two lawyers Maria Mitousis and George Orle in 2015.

Mitousis was seriously injured when a bomb exploded in her hand after she opened a package sent to her in the mail. She had been Amsel’s ex-wife’s lawyer during a civil case about money that was owed to her from the divorce proceeding years earlier.
