Italian found dead in Amsterdam: "It was definitely a murder"

The family of Paolo Moroni, the 42-year-old computer engineer found dead last Thursday in his home in Amsterdam, has no doubts: Paolo was killed.

"It was certainly a murder", said the family's lawyer, Bruno Forestieri: "At the moment the Dutch police are very closed - he continues -. This makes us assume that they are close to identifying the person responsible. The main news reaches us. by the Farnesina crisis unit and by the Civitavecchia carabinieri ".

Between tomorrow and Wednesday, according to what we learn, the autopsy should take place: "At the moment the body is in the morgue and we are trying to understand if there is the possibility of sending one of our biased coroners - explains Forestieri -. family members will reach Holland, while tomorrow I will have a first call with a Dutch colleague I contacted in recent days to follow the investigation ".

The house in which Moroni was killed, a native of Allumiere, a small town on the outskirts of Civitavecchia, was his property and he had recently bought it. "At the moment it is closed and under seizure".

THE CRIME - It had already been a few days that Paolo Moroni had no traces. Until a week ago, family members explained, he was "calm" and there was nothing in his attitude that suggested fears or concern. "We are destroyed, it was a bolt from the blue, a real tragedy", the comment of the mayor of Allumiere, Antonio Pasquini. The Dutch police are investigating the matter, while in Italy the investigation was entrusted to the Civitavecchia carabinieri.

From the first information it is assumed a violent death, perhaps due to a robbery that ended badly. A file should also arrive soon on the table of the Rome prosecutor's office.

Paolo Moroni had only returned to Amsterdam about ten days ago, after spending the holidays in Allumiere together with his family: after graduating from Sapienza and a master's degree from the University of Italian Switzerland, he had decided to try the Holland card. A career as a developer and computer engineer, also passing through the scooter company Dott up to the very young startup Hymn, for which he was still working.

"It was our flagship, it could have been an Italian and international pride", adds the mayor after visiting the victim's family. "They are truly priceless people - he says - they have always spent themselves on those who are worse off even during Covid when they made available free meals for the most needy".
