Pier Paolo Pasolini was found murdered in 1975. The case was originally closed by the confession of Giuseppe Pelosi, but he retracted his confession in 2005.
More than 50 years after the murder of the Italian writer and filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini, the public prosecutor's office has reopened the investigation into the case.
Lawyer Stefano Maccioni, who has been calling for a new investigation for years and had filed the request to reopen the investigation, told the AFP news agency on Monday that he hoped the new investigation would "put an end to this story once and for all."
Pasolini was found dead on a beach outside Rome on November 2, 1975. A 17-year-old prostitute, Giuseppe “Pino” Pelosi, confessed to killing him. Pelosi said at the time that the filmmaker had tried to rape him. He was sentenced to almost ten years in prison, but retracted his confession in 2005 and instead blamed three unnamed men with Sicilian accents.
Since Pasolini's death, there has been much speculation as to why he was killed - from blackmail to a contract killing by right-wing extremists or the mafia. Pasolini's last film, "The 120 Days of Sodom," a criticism of Benito Mussolini's dictatorship, sparked outrage for its explicit depiction of violence and sexual abuse.
