The case of the murder of director Pasolini reopened. Were other individuals involved in the act?
The Rome prosecutor's office has reopened the investigation into the murder of filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini, killed in 1975. This decision follows a request from lawyer Stefano Maccioni, who cited DNA evidence collected in 2010. Maccioni hopes for answers regarding potential accomplices in the crime. Pasolini, a significant figure in 20th-century Italian literature and film, was controversially murdered, with the initial conviction of Giuseppe Pelosi as the sole perpetrator now deemed unreliable. Pelosi retracted his confession, claiming coercion, and died in 2017. Previous requests to reopen the case were denied, and suspicions of political motives remain unconfirmed. Meanwhile, protests in Prague will disrupt traffic, and President Petr Pavel criticized a new military strategy for failing to meet allied commitments.
