Retired Perugia Prosecutor Flags New Name in Kercher Murder as Officials Say Case Stays Closed

ANSA reports no new file will follow Giuliano Mignini’s interview claim that a tipster named someone who left Italy days after the 2007 killing.

Overview

  • Giuliano Mignini told La Stampa a reliable source identified a previously unexamined individual who allegedly left the country shortly after Meredith Kercher’s murder.
  • The former lead magistrate said he has reported the information to the Perugia prosecutor’s office.
  • Prosecutorial sources cited by ANSA say no new investigation has been or will be opened, keeping the matter closed under final judgments.
  • Rudy Guede remains the only person definitively convicted, while Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito were ultimately acquitted after lengthy proceedings.
  • Mignini criticized early handling of Knox’s Nov. 5–6 statements and said full justice was not achieved in the case.
