Fano Travel Agent Still Missing as Prosecutors Open Two Probes After 20 Client Complaints

Prosecutors are testing the voluntary‑departure hypothesis, with banking checks following reports of trips left without documents.

Overview

  • Two case files are now open in Pesaro: one for the disappearance reported by the daughter and a second driven by about 20 client complaints over incomplete travel arrangements.
  • Antonella Ago, 63, who runs Il vicolo dei viaggi in central Fano, has been unreachable since early January and her shuttered office was found with lights off.
  • Clients say they paid for upcoming trips but lack necessary documents, including a woman who reports roughly €6,000 paid for a Vietnam group tour scheduled for January 11–26 from Milan.
  • Carabinieri state a voluntary departure is possible but no scenario is excluded as investigations continue.
  • The daughter told investigators her mother left her phone at home, complicating location checks, and a Japan promo post on January 7 likely had been pre‑scheduled, which may have delayed alarm.
