Overview
- Valentina Greco, a 42-year-old freelance human rights consultant, was discovered unconscious inside her wardrobe on July 19 and remains in stable condition under medical observation in Tunis.
- Her disappearance on July 9 triggered coordinated efforts by the Italian Embassy in Tunis, the Farnesina and Tunisian police, who initially found her apartment in order but her phone, computer and three cats missing.
- Family members had raised alarms over her need for anticoagulant medication following a past pulmonary embolism and the unusual abandonment of her pets as signs of trouble.
- A follow-up search by the Tunisian gendarmerie led to her rescue at the Sidi Bou Said residence, prompting authorities to reconsider theories of voluntary absence or third-party interference.
- Once cleared by doctors, Greco is expected to be questioned by investigators to piece together her activities and condition during the ten days she was unaccounted for.
