Italian justice reopens case of Pier Paolo Pasolini’s murder, 51 years after his death

The Italian justice system has reopened the investigation into Pier Paolo Pasolini's murder, prompted by new witness testimony and ongoing inquiries by attorney Stefano Maccioni. Pasolini was killed in 1975, and doubts about the official narrative have persisted, particularly regarding the involvement of others alongside the convicted Pino Pelosi. Maccioni's efforts have previously led to case reopenings in 2010 and 2023, but without conclusive results. The new testimony comes from a retired security officer, suggesting potential flaws in the initial investigation. Maccioni is exploring connections between Pasolini's death and political conspiracies, including neo-fascist groups and mafia plots, as well as the theft of film reels related to Pasolini's last work. He emphasizes the need for further investigation to uncover the truth behind the murder.
