Fiumicino Killing of Simona Bortoletto Now Probed as Possible Femicide After New Evidence

Toxicology indicates alcohol and drugs, with witness accounts of a prior dispute prompting a wider forensic review.

Overview

  • The driver, identified as Cristiano Maggetti, remains under investigation for road homicide and is free after stopping to assist at the scene.
  • Latest reporting says he tested positive for alcohol and multiple drugs, a result that could further complicate his legal position.
  • Children connected to the case, including the victim’s 8-year-old son, were heard in protected settings as investigators gather statements.
  • Prosecutors are examining CCTV and mobile phones, and they are weighing whether evidence supports reclassifying the case as intentional killing.
