Overview
- Alexander Adarich, 54, was found dead on January 23 after a fall from a fourth-floor luxury Airbnb in central Milan.
- Police opened a homicide inquiry, assessing the death as a staged suicide based on wrist binding marks and possible strangulation.
- A Romanian passport was found on the body and additional identity documents with the same photo but different names were recovered in the apartment.
- Witnesses reported several men at the scene and one person seen looking from the fourth-floor window just after the fall.
- Adarich rented the property under a false name, arrived without luggage, told his wife he had a business meeting, and an autopsy is pending as investigators consider an attempt to obtain cryptocurrency keys as a possible motive.
