Overview
- Investigators questioned Valentina after phone records showed she met Nicastri the morning after the stabbing for a scheduled apartment appointment, and she said she knew nothing about the attack or prior stakeouts.
- Nicastri told magistrates he only meant to slash Marco Veronese’s tyres and claims he acted in self‑defence when the victim displayed a pocketknife.
- CCTV and cell‑site data traced Nicastri’s movements, while a voice message from Veronese described a hooded figure and a pocketknife later found under his body.
- Prosecutors say Nicastri disposed of his clothes and the knife in the Dora, hid for about 12 days at a second home in Bardonecchia and moved money abroad before his November 3 arrest in Turin.
- Authorities link the dispute to Veronese’s push for more time with his three children, noting prior tyre‑slashing episodes and the use of a private investigator, as judicial review of Nicastri’s detention proceeds.
