Overview
- The Bergamo prosecutor’s office opened a modello 45 file to verify whether victim-protection procedures were properly applied after a September 2024 emergency-room report that did not trigger the ‘codice rosso’ response.
- Prosecutors have acquired the Seriate hospital record in which Genini reported being assaulted in Cervia by Gianluca Soncin, noting prior threats and injuries, a scenario that can activate protections even without a formal complaint.
- Soncin, 52, remains in custody on charges of aggravated homicide with alleged cruelty and premeditation as Milan prosecutors coordinate technical examinations, including forensic phone copies, and hear witnesses and ex-partners.
- Testimonies depict a toxic, violent relationship with past threats and stalking, including a 2011 complaint from another partner; community vigils in Gorla drew roughly 1,000–2,000 people, and a camera ardente and Friday funeral are scheduled in Bergamo province.
- Officials highlight related interventions: a 45-year-old was arrested in Varese after a friend alerted 112 to protect a 19-year-old, and in Milan a 31-year-old, Luigi M., was jailed after alleged assaults and knife threats against a 49-year-old former model.
