Pierina Paganelli murder investigation

Overview

The investigation into the October 2023 murder of 78-year-old Pierina Paganelli in Rimini remains open following the acquittal of the primary suspect, Louis Dassilva. The Court of Assize ruled that Dassilva “did not commit the act,” leading to his release after 694 days in prison due to insufficient evidence.

Dassilva has since spoken publicly, suggesting that accusations against him may have been motivated by vengeance or self-protection by the victim’s daughter-in-law, Manuela Bianchi. While the Rimini Prosecutor’s Office has expressed its intention to appeal the decision, the official written motivations for the acquittal have been delayed by a 90-day extension.

Media attention has intensified, with television programs such as “Le Iene presentano: Inside” preparing specials to re-examine evidence and explore unresolved questions regarding the crime and neighborhood dynamics.
