Franciosi denies Ragnedda's claims regarding the murder of Cinzia Pinna: "I was far from Palau."

"I wasn't there. I was far from Palau." This is the gist of the statements made before Tempio prosecutors Gregorio Capasso and Noemi Mancini by Luca Franciosi, the 26-year-old Lombard gardener accused of aiding and abetting the murder of Cinzia Pinna, which occurred in Conca Entosa on the night of September 11th.

The lawyers Nicoletta and Maurizio Mani pushed for the questioning, defending the interests of the young man called to account by the confessed criminal, Emanuele Ragnedda, who allegedly attributed his involvement in the hours following the crime, when it was necessary to dispose of the body of the thirty-three-year-old from Castelsardo and hide her personal effects. This was a vain attempt to draw investigators away from the estate in the countryside between Arzachena and Palau.

According to leaks, Franciosi—who is also under investigation for aiding and abetting Ragnedda's friend Rosa Maria Elvo — has provided evidence that in the days immediately following Cinzia Pinna's violent death, when evidence needed to be concealed, he was away from Palau for work. He revealed that he had been to Conca Entosa, but for some sort of party, with other people present, and that nothing pointed to the terrible crime.

A reconstruction that, if verified, would exclude him from the scene when the body was transported from the house to a tree on the estate, where it was found.
