ALCAMO (TRAPANI) – The DNA test on the remains of the body found on 11 July 2023 buried in the countryside of Castelnovo di Sotto (Reggio Emilia) is that of Gaetano Impellizzeri, from Alcamo (Trapani), sales agent, operating in the automotive and household appliances sectors, who passed away on 10 February 2014, when he was forty-seven.
The result of the DNA test was revealed by the lawyer Giuseppe Accardo, of the Marsala Bar, who released a note signed together with Impellizzeri’s daughters, Alessia and Eleonora Chiara, who provided the biological material to carry out the DNA comparison. The test was entrusted to the RIS of the Parma Carabinieri. “The tests have confirmed that it is Gaetano Impellizzeri” write the lawyer and his daughters in the note.
The lawyer Accardo he adds that he “reserves the right to formulate any other comments once he has read the investigation file”. Impellizzeri had lost track of him shortly after landing at Bergamo’s Orio al Serio airport. Over time, the story was followed by the Rai television program “Chi l’ha visto?”.
To investigate the case is the investigative unit of the Carabinieri of Reggio Emilia with the coordination of the local Prosecutor’s Office. Three people are under investigation for murder, presumably committed with a firearm, with the body subsequently being hidden. The testimony of a justice collaborator led the searches in the garden of a farmhouse, owned by people unrelated to the investigation.
On the morning of last July 11, 2023, using an ultrasound scanner, a check of the garden was carried out which revealed the body at a depth of about half a metre. The body was wrapped in a sack.
Among the various hypotheses taken into consideration, also that Impellizzeri might be in financial difficulty and was trying to start a new business in the car trading sector.
