New investigations are underway in the villa of Calignano, a hamlet of Cura Carpignano, in the province of Pavia, owned by Barbara Pasetti , the 40-year-old physiotherapist who ended up in prison on charges of attempted extortion as part of the investigation into the murder of Luigi Criscuolo, 60, known by everyone in Pavia as "Gigi Bici".

The agents of the mobile squad participate in the research, together with personnel from the scientific police and dog units.

The house has been under seizure since January 20, the day of Barbara Pasetti's arrest (also under investigation for murder and body concealment).

The police are carrying out the checks both inside the villa and in the courtyard. Today's inspection follows the long search on January 20.

Gigi Bici had disappeared from home on the morning of Monday 8 November, on the same day he was killed with a gunshot to the right temple, as emerged from the autopsy.

The man's body was found on the afternoon of Monday 20 December in a field of Calignano, in front of the villa of Barbara Pasetti.

The discovery by the woman's son "while he was playing football", said Pasetti, who also said he never met the victim. This latter circumstance is denied by various testimonies.

Barbara Pasetti, heard for two hours in recent days, while admitting the existence of the attempted extortion, before the judge would not have provided information capable of exonerating her. The woman is charged with wiretapping and anonymous letters written in broken Italian to try to direct the investigation into a gang of kidnappers from Eastern Europe made to find Criscuolo's family in a telephone booth and in a church.
