"It was a murder." New investigation on the case Pantani. I am … – The Republic

“Marco Pantani was killed.” Ten years after his death, the last chapter of the novel sad and lonely end of one of the greatest champions of all time has to be rewritten. For whole. The prosecutor of Rimini has reopened the case, and this time the investigative hypothesis, put pen to paper by the prosecutor Paolo Giovagnoli, is no longer the original, of “death as a result of accidental overdose,” but the much more rough than “murder voluntary. ”

The dossier was entrusted to Elisa pm and is Milocco covered, understandably, the most absolute secrecy. Quell’incartamento hot in the corridors of power of attorney, you just know that was entered in the register of crime reports, and that there are no suspects, but it is likely that very soon there will be. Digging a bit ‘, you can also discover another detail crucial to understand the contours of a story that rewrites a piece of the history of Italian sport, and that everything originates from the investigations by defense counsel as Tonina Pantani, the mother of Mark, has charge, almost a year ago, the lawyer Antonio De Rensis. “I’m sure that my son was killed,” he always told the woman, but his statements were seen as outbursts.
That more than anything he did not go exactly as they had rebuilt police officers in the investigation and prosecution, the it is always said, and especially written. Books, interviews, and media, over time, they put in a row circumstances, facts and details in contradiction with each other, if not literally meaningless. And it is precisely from those details that are broken down by the defensive investigations to arrive then, after months of work, the witness and interviewed professionals, a conclusion deemed “objectively much more plausible” that up to now official. That, in fact, that the prosecution has qualified in the case of murder.

“One man, when he won and when they swerved” of G.MURA

The cornerstone of this work, the element that finally persuaded the prosecutor Giovagnoli starting with the new investigation, the expert medical examiner performed on behalf of the family Pantani by Professor Francesco Maria Avato, which at the end of the paper concludes: “The wounds on the body of Marco Pantani are not self inflicted, but by third parties.” No, they were the outpourings of a mother, nor the allegations of the usual newspapers.

Pantani was found on the night of Valentine’s Day of 2004, around 22, inside the room D5 of the residence Le Rose Rimini, a few steps from the sea. The echo of the sporting exploits of the Pirate had already abated for some time, after the doping scandal in Madonna di Campiglio ’99, the return and the departure of the Tour of 2003. The police entered the room and found him there, forlorn and drive , her face nestled in the blood. As of now there was no doubt. It was a drug overdose. The room appeared as if it had been swept away by a hurricane. Around a lot,
eloquent cocaine. The surveys were fast, 55 days. A record.

At the end of it all, according to police and the prosecutor’s office, it was clear: Pantani had arrived in Rimini on the evening of February 10. Alone in a taxi from Milan. He had paid in cash. He had no luggage, just a bag and a plastic bag with the money inside. He had to leave before the house of his drug dealers. Citofonato but had not found them. He had therefore left word that he would have expected there in front of the residence. He had taken a room (for one night) and there was instead remained for the next four days. Leaving once to return to the pusher who had sold 20 grams of cocaine. For the rest had remained there, alone, and no one had sworn the goalkeeper, had entered or exited there. On February 14, twice Pantani had called the concierge requesting the intervention of the police to “some threats.” But it was the ravings of a man in withdrawal symptoms in the room had not got none.

Then, the last fatal dose. Before the defense investigations, the investigation has been removed by the Supreme Court in 2011 acquitted the only defendant remaining in the process created by the death, one of three dealers (the other two had bargained away), because the fact – ‘death as a result of another crime ‘- does not exist. Now, new surveys. At the time the order is placed, the lawyer De Rensis had anticipated the contents of his findings: “Seeing the video shot during the investigation it soon becomes clear that it is being investigated in only one direction, from the outset, and which are were considered only items that corroborated the thesis overdose and neglected the others. ” Today shows an incredible series of errors: the lightning investigations, autopsy wrong, measurements performed badly, and then naivety and lack of logic everywhere. In the viewfinder end up short investigators, guilty of investigations directed elsewhere. Investigations that now, ten years later, they share three questions: who killed Marco Pantani? Why is that? And most importantly, those who have covered up the truth?
