Overview

• Francis Kaufmann, 46, is detained in a Greek prison awaiting extradition to Italy on aggravated homicide charges after the bodies of his partner and infant daughter were found in Villa Pamphili on June 7.
• The Ministry of Culture has launched a formal review of the €863,595.90 in tax credits granted to Kaufmann’s unproduced film “Stelle della notte” to determine whether the funding was misused.
• An internal police probe is examining three separate instances in May and early June when officers encountered Kaufmann—under aliases Rexal Ford and Matteo Capozzi—and Anastasia Trofimova without verifying their identities or preventing the tragedy.
• Anastasia Trofimova, 28, and her daughter Andromeda Ford, born June 14, 2024, were identified on June 19 after Trofimova’s mother recognized her daughter’s foot tattoo during a television appeal.
• Prosecutors are weighing a second murder charge against Kaufmann for Trofimova’s death as they continue to map his international aliases, financial movements and possible network of enablers.
