Valeria Pandolfo death investigation
Overview
A judge in Santa Maria Capua Vetere has rejected a prosecutor's request to archive the investigation into the death of Valeria Pandolfo, who died on May 17, 2021, in Prata Sannita at the home of her then-partner, Marcus Pota.
The decision to continue the investigation follows identified “discrasie” (discrepancies) between the official forensic report and private expert findings. The judge has ordered further investigations to clarify the cause and timing of death, noting that previous official findings regarding a probable cardiac cause remain unclear.
The court has also called for the acquisition of previous investigative files and new testimonies, including accounts from witnesses regarding Pandolfo’s concerns about her relationship with Pota, which was reportedly characterized by physical and psychological violence.
