Pasolini was murdered on the coast of Ostia, near Rome, on November 2, 1975. Pino Pelosi, who was 17 years old at the time, was identified as the culprit and served time in prison, but suspicions were raised that he was behind the crime when he overturned his confession in 2005.
Italian prosecutors are reinvestigating the murder case of Italian film director and writer Pier Paolo Pasolini, whose works of resistance and deviation have been controversial.
According to the local ANSA news agency on the 2nd (local time), lawyer Stefano Mazzoni, who had been requesting a reinvestigation of the case, announced that the prosecution had begun a reinvestigation of the Pasolini case.
Pasolini is considered a figure who left a mark on Italian culture by publishing many controversial films, novels, poems, and critical essays. He also strongly criticized the Catholic Church and fascism.
He was murdered on the coast of Ostia, near Rome, on November 2, 1975, immediately after completing 'Salo, The 120 Days of Sodom', which explicitly depicted violence and sexual abuse. He was 53 years old at the time of his death.
The police identified Pino Pelosi, a homosexual who was 17 years old at the time, as the culprit. Pelosi confessed to the crime, was found guilty, served time in prison, and was released on parole in 1983.
However, the controversy began when Pelosi overturned her confession in 2005. Pelosi identified three unidentified men with Sicilian accents as the culprits. He claimed that they beat Director Pasolini to "teach him a lesson."
Italian investigative authorities began a reinvestigation after Pelosi's confession was overturned, but stopped the investigation after finding no new evidence. Since then, various speculations have continued regarding the Pasolini murder case, including theories that it was a contract murder by far-right forces or the mafia.
