The charge against Filippo Turetta, Giulia Cecchettin's 22-year-old ex-boyfriend, has been upgraded to aggravated voluntary homicide and kidnapping after a video taken by Foss industrial area cameras showed him hitting the girl and loading her into the car on the first evening of their disappearance on November 11. "The discovery of the girl's body clearly requires the change of the charge, which has therefore been changed - explained the chief prosecutor of Venice, Bruno Cherchi, in charge of the investigation - It is voluntary homicide, at present, but it is a provisional charge because we have to do all the technical checks on the places, on the exhibits, on the car, we have to hear Turetta's version of the facts, And only then will it be possible to make a more complete approach." Turetta, who was caught in Germany and is being held in a jail in Leipzig, is awaiting extradition.
