Prosecutors Intensify Probes: Missing Woman Near Rome, Crans‑Montana Fire, Alleged Insurance Murder

Forensic breakthroughs with court orders are pushing disparate cases from initial alerts toward formal homicide and negligence inquiries.

Overview

  • In Anguillara Sabazia, investigators placed Claudio Carlomagno under investigation for homicide in the disappearance of his wife, Federica Torzullo, seizing his car, phone and home as GPS and cell data undercut his account and teams deploy luminol, drones and targeted excavations, including lake searches.
  • Swiss judges ordered co‑owner Jessica Moretti to surrender travel documents, remain in Switzerland and check in daily as the Crans‑Montana Constellation fire probe cites pyrotechnics, obstructed exits and an autopsy on Italian victim Riccardo Minghetti indicating death by asphyxia.
  • Florence prosecutors detained Emiliano Milza and Simona Hirsch on suspicion of premeditated murder in the death of Franka Ludwig, alleging a staged crash to collect life‑insurance policies exceeding €3 million after autopsy results showed high benzodiazepine levels.
  • In Ferrara province, a 25‑year‑old was arrested after a 14‑year‑old girl said she was beaten while living with him, with charges of maltreatment and injuries and an investigation for sexual acts with a cohabiting minor.
  • Domestic‑violence cases advanced elsewhere as a Muggiò stabbing led to an attempted‑murder inquiry after the suspect surrendered, and a Ventimiglia judge classified a separate attack as attempted murder rather than attempted femicide in a contested ruling.
