Overview

  • Deputy Prosecutor Claudia Alberti's office is treating the July 2 death as a homicide with 59-year-old acquaintance Pierpaolo R. identified as the person of interest.
  • Ongoing forensic tests include examining a soft-air pellet hole in Gneo's buttock to confirm use of a pellet weapon before his fall.
  • Authorities have seized computers and payment cards from the suspect’s home to scrutinize disputed claims that bank transfers were diverted.
  • Pierpaolo R. remains free under investigation pending results from digital and financial evidence tests.
  • Prosecutors suspect a €60,000 debt dispute motivated the confrontation with forensic findings pending before any formal charges.
