Overview

• On September 9, the Rome prosecutor’s office added the offense of unlawful dissemination of intimate material and assigned the file to a specialist group coordinated by deputy prosecutor Giuseppe Cascini.
• Investigators say the theft appears targeted rather than accidental trawling of home cameras, and the case remains opened against unknown persons.
• The Polizia Postale is leading the probe, with a parallel inquiry active in Tempio Pausania.
• According to the complaints, an intruder accessed Caroline Tronelli’s home surveillance system on August 9 and stole an intimate video that spread within hours on social platforms, particularly Telegram.
• Stefano De Martino filed a complaint in Porto Cervo on August 10 and later in Rome, pages hosting the clip were taken down after alerts, and authorities note that those who reposted the video can also face prosecution under the 2019 ‘Codice Rosso’ law.
