Rome Police Search Casa del Jazz Tunnels in Reopened Probe of Judge Adinolfi’s 1994 Disappearance

The exploratory digs target previously unexamined galleries beneath property seized from the Banda della Magliana.

Overview

  • From November 12, Carabinieri, Polizia and Guardia di Finanza, coordinated by the Prefecture, began inspecting underground galleries beneath the Casa del Jazz.
  • Authorities say the work is exploratory with no specific object being sought, and no confirmed discoveries have been announced.
  • On July 2, 1994, Adinolfi ran errands at the courthouse, sent a 500,000‑lire money order to his wife near the Villaggio Olimpico, his BMW was later found parked there, and his house and car keys were placed in his mother’s building mailbox.
  • Witness accounts include a tribunal library clerk who saw him with an unidentified man of about 30–35 years old and a later sighting of the judge on a city bus.
  • The case, overseen by the Perugia prosecutor’s office and archived in 1995 and again in 2003, has been revived as investigators revisit potential ties to his bankruptcy work involving Fiscom and figures linked to the Banda della Magliana.
