Chico Forti will be transferred to Italy. Giorgia Meloni announced this in a video released in Washington. «After 24 years of detention in the United States – said the Prime Minister – the authorization for the transfer to Italy was signed, a result resulting from the diplomatic commitment of this government of collaboration with the State of Florida and with the government of United States that I thank."
Forti, originally from Trento, is now 65 years old and in 2000 was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder. He would have killed Dale Pike. In February 1998, the two men had an appointment at the airport, but shortly afterwards Pike was found dead on a beach in Miami, with two 22 caliber bullets in his head. Suspicion immediately fell on the Italian.
Over the years there have been numerous movements in Italy that have asked all governments to bring Chico Forti back to his homeland. There were many friends who visited him in prison, including the Sardinian Roberto Fodde ( HERE THE INTERVIEW )
«It is a day of joy for him and for his family, for all of us – added Giorgia Meloni – We promised it, we did it and now we are waiting for Chico Forti in Italy».
