Overview
- Engineer Giuseppe Monfreda’s Virtual Crash reconstruction, calibrated to Rossi’s measurements, concludes he was held by the arms and then released, with the consultancy describing involvement by two people.
- The model, described as verifiable and replicable, reports an estimated 95% match to the observed fall and asserts the mechanics are incompatible with a voluntary jump.
- The findings directly contradict the 2022 parliamentary-commissioned superperizia by La Sapienza and the Carabinieri RIS, which deemed the death consistent with suicide.
- Monfreda and the Le Iene team allege the earlier analysis used an obsolete and unlicensed version of the Virtual Crash software, undermining its ability to simulate articulated body motion.
- Rossi’s family is demanding a homicide inquiry outside Siena and MP Walter Rizzetto is urging immediate verifications, while the competent Genoa prosecutors have not reopened the case; the full simulation is set to air on Le Iene on Italia 1.
