Italian judicial authorities are managing several high-profile homicide investigations involving new forensic and digital evidence.

In the case of Roberta Bertacchi, who was found dead in Casarano, investigators have ordered the exhumation of her body to conduct technical assessments following opposition from her family. Forensic experts are comparing the boots worn by the victim against footprints found at the scene. Concurrently, Davide Falcone is under investigation for incitement to suicide and faces trial for domestic abuse.

In other legal proceedings, a judge is reviewing requests for new expert assessments in the death of Eleonora Guidi, specifically regarding the mental capacity of Lorenzo Innocenti, who is currently unable to participate in his trial due to brain injuries. In the case of Daniela Gaiani, new digital forensic evidence regarding mobile data usage has emerged, and the court is considering further medico-legal assessments and judicial experiments.
