The Turin entrepreneur Marco Di Nunzio, protagonist of the case of Silvio Berlusconi's elusive Colombian will, was arrested in Cartagena, Colombia.
The Milan prosecutor Marcello Viola and the prosecutor Roberta Amadeo have closed the investigations in view of the request for trial for the 55-year-old for forgery of a will and attempted extortion against the Knight's children. Di Nunzio published a will in which he claimed that in front of a notary in Cartagena Berlusconi would give him 26 million, a yacht, villas in Antigua and 2% of Fininvest.
Thanks to the exchange of information, Di Nunzio was also arrested by the Colombian judicial authorities for the alleged forgeries committed in that country, including the one on the will, also reported by a notary from Cartagena. The investigation revealed that the 55-year-old would have formed three different false holographic wills, signed on 21 September 2021 in the office of the "Notaria Primera of Cartagena - Bolivar", with which the bequest of "liquidity, company shares, boats and buildings".
Di Nunzio, after having also sent numerous warnings to his heirs, attempted to deposit the first two wills at the notarial archives of Milan, and then he would have drawn up a third will in which, compared to the previous ones, his signature and the words " universal heir". Will which he deposited, in the summer of last year, with a notary in Naples. And he would have used it to further warn the heirs, i.e. Berlusconi's five children who denounced him with the lawyer Giorgio Perroni, and to promote an appeal for judicial seizure of assets, not accepted by the Court of Milan.
During an episode of Report last October, Di Nunzio allegedly threatened to spread mysterious documentation about Berlusconi and to file a lawsuit to obtain the inheritance, unless the heirs provided him with a "settlement" sum. Hence also the accusation of attempted extortion. In the investigations, conducted by the Economic and Financial Police Unit of the Gdf, there were seizures from the notary, the listening of texts, including Marta Fascina, to reconstruct where Berlusconi was on the day of the signing of the "Colombian will", a letter rogatory international to acquire the declarations of the Colombian notary and the attester of the translations of the wills and the acquisition of a copy of the documents of the civil case. From the investigations it emerged that Berlusconi was not in Colombia in those days at the end of September but in Arcore pm, the entrepreneur would have attempted to "coerce" the "autonomy" of the Knight's children over their father's inheritance and, if anything, also have a sum to silence his claims.
