Overview
- Ornella Carnazza is scheduled to testify on January 22, followed by Marco Accetti on January 29 at Palazzo San Macuto, according to the bicameral commission’s timetable.
- In a recorded April 4, 1997 phone call during a custody dispute, Carnazza threatened to “tell” about Emanuela Orlandi while speaking to Accetti, who at the time was under police attention over another missing boy, Bruno Romano.
- The commission’s focus includes whether Carnazza’s 1997 words were a bluff or reflected knowledge of Accetti’s actions, an issue previously explored when she told prosecutors in 2013 she did not remember the context.
- Accetti, who self-presented in 2013 as involved in the Orlandi–Gregori disappearances, has been linked by forensic analyses to some 1983 revendication communications, including the “Americano” calls and a voice on the so-called torture tape.
- Investigators are also reviewing circumstantial elements such as a flute delivered by Accetti in 2013 that the Orlandi family recognized without DNA confirmation, and accounts from women in his circle who say they lent voices or assisted with messages, including one audio sent from Boston.
