The promoter of Vatican justice Alessandro Diddi will launch new investigations in relation to the disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi which took place in Rome in June 1983. According to what has been learned, the initiative is linked to a series of requests presented in the past by Pietro Orlandi, brother of Emmanuel.
The Vatican judiciary will first analyze the deeds and documents relating to the old investigations.
The proceeding of the Rome prosecutor's office on the disappearances of Orlandi and Mirella Gregori, the latter taking place on May 7, 1983, was filed in October 2015 at the request of the then chief prosecutor Giuseppe Pignatone, and now president of the Vatican court, and by substitutes Ilaria Calò and Simona Maisto.
"We are unaware of it, we learn it from the press but we have certainly been waiting to be heard for a year", says the lawyer of the Orlandi family, Laura Sgrò, commenting with ANSA on the news of the reopening of the Vatican investigations.
