Overview
- Excavators are being deployed today to reach a 15‑meter‑deep gallery identified by radio‑scanner surveys beneath the Casa del Jazz in Rome.
- Carabinieri, state police, Guardia di Finanza, bomb disposal specialists and molecular-detection dogs are on site due to potential hazards including hidden explosives.
- Investigators are inspecting previously unsearched galleries for possible human remains, as well as weapons, explosives or documents tied to the 1994 disappearance of Judge Paolo Adinolfi.
- The site sits on property once linked to Enrico Nicoletti of the Banda della Magliana, and the new checks follow years of requests by ex-judge Guglielmo Muntoni and testimony reported from pentito Francesco Elmo.
- A prior probe in 1996 halted after a tunnel collapse and lack of funds, and Adinolfi’s family says it was scarcely consulted and is asking for privacy as no findings have been announced.
