Francesco Rocca, his assets cannot go to his mother. And Dina Dore's family members can get compensation

The assets owned by Francesco Rocca - the dentist from Gavoi definitively sentenced to life imprisonment as the principal of the murder of his wife Dina Dore in March 2008 - remain with him and are not the result of a fiduciary pact with the family.

This is what the civil judge of the Court of Nuoro Tiziana Longu established, rejecting the request made by the two sisters and Rocca's mother with the aim of stripping him of the assets he owns.

According to the lawyers representing Dina Dore's family and those who protect Rocca's 13-year-old daughter, the request was a cunning to prevent the dentist's assets from being attacked by the Dore , beneficiaries of a provisional payment after the sentence, and by the daughter herself. civil lawsuits are pending for compensation.

For this reason, the lawyer Annamaria Busia says she is "satisfied" with the sentence. "The judge decided as we hoped and established that the questions posed by Rocca's sisters and mother were absolutely unfounded and that the estate in the name belongs entirely to Francesco".

Lawyers for the dentist's sisters and mom could appeal.

THE MURDER - Dina Dore was killed on the evening of March 26, 2008 in her home in Gavoi. She was 37 and had a daughter born seven months earlier. Mother and child had just returned home, in via Sant'Antioco. Someone had attacked the woman, tied her hands and feet and smothered her with duct tape before locking her in the trunk of the car.

At first the investigators had thought of a kidnapping: in the apartment there was no trace of the victim, while on one side there was the seat with the newborn. Only several hours later the police had decided to check the inside of the hood of the Fiat Punto and discovered the woman's body .

The investigation had proved complicated. The thesis of the kidnapping ended badly did not find an outlet, then in the autumn of 2012 someone had claimed that the young Pierpaolo Contu had killed Dina Dore on the orders of the victim's husband. On the tape that had prevented the woman from breathing, the trace of another male DNA had also been identified, but remained unknown, and also in those days an anonymous letter had appeared, addressed to Graziella Dore (Dina's sister), which indicated as principal of the Francesco Rocca crime and some young people from the town as perpetrators .

So in February 2013 the Cagliari Anti-Mafia District Directorate, based on the investigations of the Nuoro and Cagliari Mobile Squads, had ordered the arrests of Contu and Rocca . The story of the witness Stefano Lai had played a fundamental role in the two levels of trial: his friend Pierpaolo Contu, he had revealed, had confided to him that it was he who killed on a mandate from Rocca and behind a reward of 250 thousand euros or a immobile. Contu, a minor at the time, was definitively sentenced to 16 years. For Rocca, the Cassation put the seal on life imprisonment in September 2018.
