Overview
- Judge Angelo Giannetti accepted the Rome prosecutors’ motion to close the investigation into the May 26, 2023 episode involving Francesco Totti and Noemi Bocchi.
- The ruling applies the legal standard for child abandonment as a concrete‑danger offense and states the minors were not exposed to danger, even potentially.
- Case records note the children had eaten, were in a habitable home with utilities, had a phone to reach adults, an adult was available in the building, and they were asleep when police arrived.
- The position of the babysitter, previously investigated for alleged false statements, was also archived.
- Totti’s lawyers expressed full satisfaction with the decision, while Ilary Blasi—who filed the original complaint—opposed the archiving and her attorney said they are evaluating further actions, with any remaining issues seen as matters for civil or family court.
