Judge Reserves Ruling in Totti Case Over Alleged Child Abandonment as Blasi Presses for Indictment

The judge will now weigh prosecutors’ bid to close the file against the ex‑wife’s push for a forced indictment.

Overview

  • At the Rome hearing, Ilary Blasi’s lawyer asked for imputazione coatta for Francesco Totti and Noemi Bocchi and sought new evidence, including testimony from Vito Scala and the first police responders.
  • Prosecutors reiterated their request for archiviazione, arguing the minors were not in real danger given a videophone, a babysitter living in the same building, and parents dining nearby.
  • GIP Angelo Giannetti reserved his decision and gave no timeline for ruling on the competing requests.
  • Police reached the apartment around midnight on 26 May 2023 and found the babysitter inside, after which Blasi proceeded with a complaint that launched the inquiry.
  • Coverage includes a 23:19 message Blasi sent to Totti asserting their daughter reported being alone for more than two hours, while Blasi’s team disputes whether the babysitter was present initially.
