Investigation Into Pietracatella Ricin Deaths Spotlights TG1 Audio on Father's Blood Values

The recording points to possible toxic exposure for all three family members.

Overview

  • A TG1 recording from the family home captured a doctor noting high platelets and rising indirect bilirubin for Gianni Di Vita, matching values seen in Antonella Di Ielsi and Sara Di Vita and consistent with toxic exposure.
  • Prosecutors are still waiting for the official toxicology from the Centro Antiveleni in Pavia, and reports that Gianni tested negative for ricin have not been formally confirmed.
  • Police questioned cousin Laura Di Vita again for about four hours as a person informed of the facts, and investigators focused on family ties and the December 23 dinner timeline.
  • The Procura di Larino and Campobasso’s Squadra Mobile are treating the case as a double intentional homicide and have interviewed more than 30 to 40 people across family, school, and work circles.
  • The family home remains under seizure after new checks, Gianni and his older daughter are staying with Laura, and his defense has added forensic toxicologist Mauro Iacoppini as officials prepare further summons.
