Overview
- The Procura generale of Milan concluded after supplementary checks that it found no elements to challenge the humanitarian pardon President Sergio Mattarella granted to Nicole Minetti in February 2026.
- A Uruguayan masseuse who had given testimony to the press later signed a four‑page notarized declaration saying she never saw parties or escorts at the Cipriani estate, and that document reached Milan via Interpol after the procuratorial review had ended.
- Il Fatto Quotidiano says it holds about one and a half hours of audio and 766 messages tied to its reporting and has announced plans to publish the underlying chats and recordings.
- Giuseppe Cipriani’s group has filed a civil suit in New York seeking roughly €250 million in damages from Il Fatto Quotidiano and Rai, saying the reports harmed its business and reputation.
- A Tribunale di Sorveglianza hearing on June 12 will formalize the cancellation of Minetti’s remaining sentence, while the case continues to fuel partisan disputes, possible civil claims and questions about how press reporting and administrative checks interact.
