The detainee was identified as Marco Di Nunziothe 56-year-old maintains that Berlusconi wrote a will in Cartagena before his death, in which he provided that 2% of the company’s shares be given to him Fininvest, a boat and a house in Antigua and Barbuda.
Supposedly a Colombian notary office validated this statement by the media mogul and former Italian prime minister who died in June 2023, but those in charge of the professional desk assure the media that it is a document “apocryphal”.

On Wednesday, Di Nunzio was captured in Cartagena by agents of the Prosecutor’s Office and members of the Navy, sources from those institutions who requested anonymity told AFP this Thursday.
The informants did not specify the reasons for the arrest, since the charges hearings are still pending.
Journalists claim that Di Nunzio was captured for alleged “false documents” during the completion of these procedures. The Italian would have presented that will before the authorities of his country to claim the rights to part of Berlusconi’s properties, whose fortune was estimated by the business magazine Forbes at about 6.9 billion dollars before his death.
