Overview
- The victim was identified as Francesco Lassi, 56, a commercial agent from Pistoia who used a room inside an accounting office on Via Grande.
- Police intercepted a car near the port around 18:40 and arrested a 47-year-old identified in local reports as Luigi Amirante, a former “collaboratore di giustizia.”
- Witness accounts described a hooded man fleeing toward the port, and those testimonies helped direct officers to the suspect.
- Early reconstructions cite a heated argument tied to an ongoing negotiation, and the arrested man told officers he acted in self-defense.
- The homicide probe, led by prosecutor Niccolò Volpe, includes forensic work, witness interviews and video collection, with formal charges still pending.
