Christian Ranucci (April 6, 1954 – July 28, 1976) was one of the last persons executed in France.
He was convicted of the abduction and murder, committed on June 3, 1974, of eight-year-old Marie-Dolorès Rambla.
His case greatly influenced the debate over capital punishment in France after the book Le Pull-over rouge (1978) was published by former lawyer and journalist Gilles Perrault.
It called Ranucci's guilt into question, and had a notable impact on public opinion, having sold over 1 million copies.
