After more than a month of desperate searching for his family and loved ones, Nicolás Matías Del Río -the Argentine who had disappeared on May 22 in the Italian town of Castel del Pino, in the province of Siena- appeared dead on a cliff near a house in Arcidosso, in the Tuscany region.
Father of two daughters who live in Argentina and a 9-year-old boy who he had with his current wife, Carolina Alegre, Del Río had moved to Italy a little over a year ago. Over there I had gotten a job as a transporterin which he dedicated himself to remove luxury handbags from factories to take them to a warehouse and, later, deliver the merchandise to different nearby cities. At the time of his disappearance he was taking a route that was already habitual for him.
Before leaving Argentina, the family lived in the Buenos Aires town of El Palomar and The man was driving a bus on line 135. Later – and, as the woman reported, “for a matter of security” – they had settled in the small town of Abbadia de San Salvatore, in the province of Siena, about 22 kilometers from where he was found dead.
“This is the first time this has happened in the town. not even heard of robberies. The tranquility that exists is one of the reasons why we choose to leave the insecurity that exists in Argentina,” Alegre said at the signal. TN a few days after the news of the disappearance became known.
After the discovery of the body, the woman spoke again with the same media and assured that she is waiting to be called to come and identify the body and begin the investigations. “We don’t even know when it happened, or since when he was there, or how it was, or in what way”, he accused.
After having been seen for the last time on May 22, the victim sent a last message to his wife telling her about the journey he had left to make. After that, he disappeared without a trace. The next day, the truck in which he was traveling appeared burned in the town of Rocalbegna. About 400 meters away, they found the cardboard boxes in which the wallets were packed, but there were no traces of the merchandise.
Finally, and more than a month later, the body appeared near a house in Tuscany, and – according to the local media The Nazione– Police officers found part of the cargo he was transporting in the vicinity of where he appeared, equivalent to half a million euros in bags from the renowned luxury brand Gucci.
The hypothesis of the cause was framed in a investigation for “robbery, voluntary manslaughter and kidnapping”, for which the prosecution charged the only three detained in the case: Klodjan Gjoni, a 33-year-old Albanian, and the Turks Ozgur Bozkurt, 44, and Kaia Emre, 28 years old. According to what the investigators were able to reconstruct, Gjoni would have intercepted Del Río while he was making his journey with the excuse of ask you to meet you at a nearby location due to the breakdown of your own vehicle. Kilometers later, in an isolated area of the countryside, Bozkurt and Emre would have joined in to attack the victim, steal his cargo and then set the vehicle on fire to erase the tracks.
In addition, two new suspects were added to the complaint: Niko Gjoni, Klodian’s father, and Zindan Bozkurt, Ozgur’s relative. The Italian authorities pointed to the Albanian man’s family, because traces of the wallets Del Rio carried were found in “Case Sallustri”, the house owned by Klodian’s father.
