The turning point comes after almost 30 years: there will be a trial for the death of Nada Cella.
Those sent to trial are the former teacher accused of being the murderer, Anna Lucia Cecere, the accountant Marco Soracco, for whom Nada worked, and the elderly mother Marisa Bacchioni.
So there will be a trial for the murder of the young secretary killed on May 6, 1996 in the office where she worked in Chiavari (Genoa). The judges of the Court of Appeal of Genoa who accepted the appeal of the Prosecutor's Office against the acquittal of Anna Lucia Cecere, Marco Soracco and the elderly mother Marisa Bacchioni. In March, Judge Angela Nutini had acquitted Cecere because she had judged the elements collected by the Prosecutor's Office as only "suspicious".
Suspicions that, he had stressed, cannot "lead to formulating a reasonable prediction of conviction", as the Cartabia reform requires, and that would make "the trial useless" given the evidentiary framework that is in some respects "contradictory and insufficient". The preliminary hearing judge had also acquitted the accountant and the elderly mother Marisa Bacchioni, the latter accused of aiding and abetting and false declarations. The case was reopened in 2021 after the rereading of the old documents by the criminologist Antonella Delfino Pesce and the family's lawyer Sabrina Franzone. The other civil parties are assisted by the lawyers Razetto and Dellepiane.
The investigation was entrusted by the prosecutor Gabriella Dotto to the flying squad. According to the prosecution, Nada Cella's was a crime of impulse; according to the prosecution, Cecere (defended by lawyers Giovanni Roffo and Gabriella Martini) killed Cella because she wanted to take her place at work and in the heart of Soracco. The accountant and his mother, on the other hand, according to the prosecution, lied and covered up the alleged murderer to avoid the discovery of a suspicious money flow . He, who had been the prime suspect immediately after the murder, has always denied covering up for Cecere.
