Man Under Investigation in Pausini Uncle’s Fatal Hit-and-Run Arrested in Bologna Theft Attempt

A judge validated the overnight arrest, imposing a reporting requirement after police found break-in tools at a florist’s storage.

Overview

  • Police detained the suspect around 12:30 a.m. inside a florist’s depot on Via Stradelli Guelfi, the same street as the November collision that killed Ettore Pausini.
  • Officers reported seizing a crowbar, a torch and gloves after blocking the suspect during an attempted escape.
  • The depot owner alerted authorities after surveillance cameras showed a hooded intruder inside the storage area.
  • Investigators say the intruder damaged a padlock, forced a door and tampered with the video system but had not removed any goods when caught.
  • The 29-year-old Moldovan, identified in reports as Stefan D., remains under investigation for vehicular manslaughter and failure to render aid in the November 2 fatal crash after initially fleeing and later presenting himself to local police.
