Luigi Mangione's sister lands prestigious job at Johns Hopkins

Luigi Mangione, the man charged for the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, has a sister that is now set to get a cardiovascular disease fellowship at Johns Hopkins, one of the most prestigious medical institutions in the country.

MariaSanta Mangione, 36, is set to start the fellowship at Johns Hopkins, according to the Daily Mail. The revelations come as her brother is on trial for murder. The program at Johns Hopkins is one of the best in the country and is heavily sought after by cardiologists working towards admission.

The accused assassin has two older sisters, MariaSanta and Lucia Mangione Giulio, 34. Lucia lives in Baltimore and works as an artist and is married to Paul Giulio. When Luigi was initially arrested, the family only released one statement, and said they were "shocked and devastated" by the news of his arrest and that they wanted to "offer prayers to the family of Brian Thompson and we ask people to pray for all involved."

MariaSanta, unlike her younger brother, is set up for success and has built her career in medicine, an industry that Mangione professed to hate in his alleged manifesto.

The manifesto read in part, "Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy."

"United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but [has] our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allowed them to get away with it," the manifesto added.

MariaSanta will start the fellowship in July, two months before her brother is set to stand trial. She earned her degree in Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics from the University of Maryland and then went on to complete the M.D./Ph.D. physician-scientist program at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine before landing the fellowship at Hopkins.
