Breakthrough in the case of Emanuela Orlandi , the 15-year-old who disappeared on June 22, 1983 and has recently returned to talk following the statements of her brother Pietro, who was heard as a person informed about the facts in the context of the new investigation opened by the Vatican.

The Rome prosecutor's office also wants to shed light on the case and has acquired the documents - made available to the Vatican - as part of the procedure already opened in Piazzale Clodio . A proceeding that had been initiated after the CSM had requested information on a complaint presented to the Council by the family of the missing girl.

The news therefore is that even the ordinary judiciary is still investigating 40 years after his disappearance, but also the collaboration between the Capitoline magistrates and the Vatican .

The proceeding had been initiated in 2021 and had also led to the hearing of the former assistant prosecutor Giancarlo Capaldo, owner of the investigation then closed in 2015. The object of the initiative by the family of the girl who disappeared in 1983 concerned the " request for investigations into the conduct of the magistrates of the Rome prosecutor's office with reference to the talks held with the Vatican for the discovery of the body of Emanuela Orlandi ».

Capaldo, now retired, in the course of some television broadcasts had claimed to have met, in the course of his investigative insights, two Vatican representatives who "promised to reveal where the girl's body was" .

" Our wish is that there is loyal cooperation between the Rome prosecutors and the Vatican in the search for the truth . It's good news, it's what we've been asking for for years to get the truth about Emanuela», says Laura Sgrò, Pietro Orlandi's lawyer. Laura Sgrò specifies that she has learned the news from the media and that there is still no involvement of the Orlandi family in this new phase of the investigation that opens on the case.
