- Prosecutors secured his account in an incidente probatorio in summer 2025, a step investigators say preserves his statements despite his death.
- The inquiry into Resinovich’s death remains open with technical examinations pending, according to recent coverage of the case.
- A recent expert report by anatomopathologist Cristina Cattaneo found Resinovich died from mechanically induced asphyxia, challenging earlier suicide theories.
- Sebastiano Visintin, Resinovich’s husband, is currently the only person under investigation for voluntary homicide, which he has consistently contested.
