A staging. Planned to conceal a murder, hide the traces, mislead the investigators, erase their responsibilities. Everything revolves around the corpse of a hanged man.
Ettore Giordano, 42 years old, a teacher in Cosenza, was found dead on 9 June 2022 in Taverna di Montalto Uffugo, with a cable around his neck. Investigations begin, friends and family are interviewed, an autopsy is performed and investigations are carried out at the crime scene. The investigating judiciary entrusts its consultants with a series of questions to offer answers to. Answers that arrive by outlining a picture attributable to a self-destructive gesture. According to the prosecutor’s experts, Giordano took his own life.
Yes, but why? The man had shown no signs of depression, nor did he show any worries that would lead him to commit suicide. The parents, father Giuseppe and mother Lucia, who from the first moment did not believe in the thesis of voluntary hanging, appointed a pool of lawyers and consultants so that, together with the investigating judiciary, they could overcome all the doubts that the story hides. However, based on the findings collected and the expert work, the Prosecutor’s Office makes a request for dismissal. According to the prosecutors, there are no elements that would lead to the hypothesis of a crime. Is the case closed? Not at all. The lawyers of the Giordano family, in fact, the lawyers Emilio Greco, Guido Siciliano, Edoardo Greco, Franceschina Bufano and Mafalda Ferraro, after a long in-depth work with the help of experts, express a contrary belief: Ettore was killed and the apartment in which he was found lifeless as well as his body speak of the presence of a possible murderer.
