The iconic Italian actor, poet, writer and director was murdered on November 2, 1975 on the beach of Ostia, near Rome
Pier Paolo Pasolini – the iconic Italian actor, poet, writer and director – was murdered on November 2, 1975 on the beach of Ostia, near Rome, and the crime was long thought to be a Mafia-style revenge killing.
One person was blamed for the murder – Giuseppe (Pino) ​​Pelosi – who at first confessed to the murder but in 2005 retracted his confession and claimed that unknown persons had killed Pasolini.
The investigation into Pasolini’s murder was reopened after Pelosi’s impeachment and there were indications that the murder was carried out by extortionists, who had stolen some reels of the film “Salo or 120 Days in Sodom” and Pasolini planned to meet them in Stockholm .
At the time, the judges ruled that the new evidence was not enough to reopen the case.
Now, according to the Italian anti-mafia parliamentary committee and an investigation it conducted, it is revealed that the murder of Pier Paolo Pasolini may indeed be connected to the theft of clips of his film work.
According to the investigation, Pasolini may have gone to Ostia, the coastal area of ​​Rome where he was murdered, to have the stolen material returned to him and not to Sweden.
“Organized crime, such as the powerful Maliana gang in Rome, is allegedly involved in this possible development,” the Italian parliamentary committee emphasizes.
The members of the Commission express the hope that new relevant evidence will emerge, at least for the investigation of the case from a historical, if not judicial, point of view.
