Even today, three months later, we don’t know why. Following the death, the family filed a complaint against unknown persons to shed light on the true cause of death. The prosecutor’s office has opened an investigation for ‘death as an involuntary consequence of the sale of narcotic substances.'” Senator Ilaria Cucchi recalled the case that occurred in Alto Adige on social media.
“Carlo used substances. But it doesn’t mean that these killed him. To find out, the only alternative is to get to the bottom of it”, continues Cucchi. “It will be hard. I know it well. I have experienced first-hand what it means to fight against the stigma. The pain it entails, the resignation in seeing that nothing seems to change. But it must change.
