Overview

• The Ministry of Education has completed inspections at Istituto Pacinotti in Fondi and will issue formal disciplinary charges to staff.
• Inspectors found that 14-year-old Paolo was subjected to bullying and that the school downplayed the situation reported by his parents.
• The disciplinary process is administrative in nature and the type of sanctions has not yet been specified.
• Criminal investigations continue on separate tracks, with Rome’s juvenile prosecutors assessing presumed classmates and Cassino examining possible adult responsibility under chief prosecutor Carlo Fucci.
• The inspection gathered testimony from teachers and staff and reviewed internal documents to reconstruct Paolo’s final months before his September 11 death.
