"The first expert report by Gregori Manghi and the second by Manghi, together with the clarifications provided by the same consultants in the hearings of 9 December 2025 and 24 February 2026, therefore show that David Rossi was the victim of an action with the intervention of third parties, thus definitively ruling out the possibility of suicide, but rather homicide." This is what is stated in the mid-term document approved today unanimously by the members present of the parliamentary commission of inquiry into the death of David Rossi , the former head of communications at MPS who died on 6 March 2013 after falling from the window of his office at the Siena bank's headquarters .

The report was approved the day after the Siena prosecutor's office announced the reopening of an investigation into Rossi's death, as confirmed by commission president Gianluca Vinci, and three days before the thirteenth anniversary of Rossi's death. As already announced, next Friday, the anniversary, the commission will be in Siena, first to lay a wreath at the MPS manager's grave and then to meet with the press and present the work carried out over the past two years. Today's meeting also resolved to send the Siena prosecutor's office, as requested by the judicial office, based on Vinci's report, the reports and hearings of RIS lieutenant Adolfo Gregori and coroner Robbi Manghi, consultants to the commission.

Based on the two consultants' expert reports, which examined the dynamics of Rossi's fall from the window and several injuries found on his body, the parliamentary commission of inquiry is pursuing the theory that the manager was attacked in his office, a fight ensued, and Rossi was then hung from the window following a failed threat. Hence, the suicide hypothesis has been ruled out. The second commission into Rossi's death was established on March 5, 2024. Since then, it has held a total of 42 plenary meetings and interviewed 33 people, including Rossi's family members, the family's lawyers and former lawyers, consultants, parliamentarians, journalists, current and former employees of Monte dei Paschi, the Municipality, and the Palazzo Te Foundation of Mantua. Its work is now continuing.

The "acknowledgement" that Rossi's death was a "homicide" opens new investigations: "The motive for such an event remains to be identified with certainty," states the document approved today. Meanwhile, for Walter Rizzetto (FdI), a member of the commission, "assigning the file for David Rossi's murder to the Siena Prosecutor's Office is an inappropriate and mistaken decision. The new phase of the investigation cannot be entrusted to the same office that already conducted the initial investigations, which over time have accumulated critical issues that undermine the perception of impartiality." "Moreover," he adds, "the Prosecutor's Office's decision to open the Model 45 file, a register reserved for documents that do not constitute a crime, is perplexing."
