New evidence may have emerged, a new investigation is launched into the murder of Pasolini 54 years ago

Italian authorities are reopening the investigation into Pier Paolo Pasolini's murder after 54 years, following claims of new evidence. Lawyer Stefano Maccioni stated that recently discovered archival footage suggests the boy who initially confessed was not alone during the crime. Maccioni, who previously represented Pasolini's cousin, now advocates for David Grieco and Giovanni Giovannetti. The investigation was previously closed twice, in 2016 and 2023. Pasolini was brutally murdered in Rome in 1975, and the case has remained controversial, especially regarding the involvement of others. New proceedings may reveal further details about potential accomplices.
