The mystery surrounding the case of Aldo Scardella, the protagonist of a sensational miscarriage of justice in Italy that led to his death, an innocent man, in solitary confinement in the Buoncammino prison in Cagliari, has been solved.

The Prosecutor's Office has in fact communicated to lawyer Silvia Marzot – who followed the case together with her colleague Mauro Trogu – that the documents, which disappeared from the Cagliari Courthouse, have been officially recovered.

The file had mysteriously disappeared and Cristiano Scardella, Aldo's brother, through lawyers Marzot and Trogu, had begun the process to clarify the mystery and request clarification from the Prosecutor's Office.

The case had also reached Parliament, with questions presented to Minister Carlo Nordio by MPs Roberto Giachetti (Italia Viva) and Dario Giagoni (Lega).

Aldo Scardella was the victim of a sensational miscarriage of justice: accused of the murder of a Cagliari businessman—a crime he did not commit—he was found lifeless in a cell in Buoncammino prison in 1986. A few years later, the true perpetrators of the murder were identified.

Now, the discovery of the file could bring to light crucial elements to finally shed full light on the affair.
