Marco Raduano, who escaped from Badu 'e Carros in 2023 and is now a collaborator with justice, reconstructed his time on the run and the murder of a restaurateur in Corsica today before the Nuoro court. For the first time, he explained that the crime had been "decided in Sardinia to repay the Sardinian and Corsican group" who had helped him.

After his escape, Raduano says he hid in Bitti, Orune, and Padru, staying with contacts including Martino Contu, Antonio Mangia, and the Gusinu family, receiving food, shelter, and logistical support. Antonio Mangia and Pietro Antonio Tolu remain defendants in the trial, which has already been largely conducted using a fast-track procedure in Cagliari.

From a protected location, Raduano answered questions from the Cagliari DDA, along with prosecutors Emanuele Secci and Danilo Tronci and defense lawyers Ivano Iai and Giancarmelo Serra.

Raduano explained that he initially kept quiet about details for fear of retaliation against his family, and that he only disclosed them after entering the protection program.
