Chico Forti is no longer held in prison in Miami but is being held by the US Immigration Agency, awaiting transfer to Italy.
Two or three weeks could be enough, according to a source close to the 65-year-old from Trentino sentenced to life in prison in Florida for the murder of Dale Pike, which occurred on February 15, 1998 . In the last few hours, the hearing was held in Miami in which Forti signed the agreement with the US federal judge to serve the remainder of his sentence in Italy, where the Trento Court of Appeals has already converted the US sentence in recent weeks . It is the last step before returning.
The authorization for the transfer was announced by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni during her visit to Washington on March 1st. In Forti's file from the Florida Department of Correction, yesterday's date, indicated as the release date, was added to the date he began custody, July 7, 2000.
“For me now the rebirth begins,” Forti said shortly before his transfer to people close to him.
