Overview
- Prosecutors in Milan received the first replies Tuesday from Uruguay and Spain in their supplemental review of Nicole Minetti’s clemency, which checks the legality of a Uruguayan adoption and whether she truly changed her lifestyle.
- The inquiry uses Interpol for foreign checks and carabinieri for medical and court records in Italy, and a final opinion is not expected this week according to three outlets.
- Minetti’s lawyers met the procurators Tuesday and filed more adoption documents, as Uruguay’s child-welfare agency Inau opened an internal review at Interpol’s request to verify its role in the case.
- A separate prosecutor in Maldonado, Uruguay, requested the adoption file while examining the 2024 house-fire deaths of two lawyers linked to the proceedings, with official forensics pointing to an accident.
- Following Sunday’s on-air apology, Sigfrido Ranucci said he was still verifying a claim about Minister Carlo Nordio and would cover any legal costs himself, and some outlets report ministry sources now say Nordio will forgo a civil action after the apology.
