Bolzano Opens Criminal Case in Matilde Lorenzi’s Training Death, Names Two as Suspects

A court-ordered incidente probatorio will fix the evidence to determine if the fatal injury stemmed from the initial fall or a later collision with a raised track edge.

Overview

  • Prosecutors registered the resort’s piste-safety official and the athlete’s coach as suspects for involuntary manslaughter.
  • Judicial experts have been appointed to conduct technical and medico-legal examinations using video of the run on the Grawand G1 course at Val Senales.
  • The inquiry will test whether alleged safety omissions, including a raised cordolo at the piste margin or missing protections, contributed to the death.
  • The Procura acquired the previously archived FISI disciplinary file after family submissions moved the matter to the registro noti in February 2025.
  • Relatives, who pressed for the reopening, cite early gaps such as no autopsy and a delayed site seizure as prosecutors reassess causation.
