Simulations with the RIS rule out suicide and indicate a violent assault before the fall from the window. The parliamentary committee awaits the final results.
New technical evidence appears to confirm that David Rossi, the former head of communications for Monte dei Paschi di Siena who died in 2013, did not commit suicide but was murdered. An expert report commissioned by the parliamentary inquiry commission, with simulations carried out in Rome with the assistance of the Carabinieri's RIS (Scientific Investigations Department), indicates that Rossi was attacked in his office by at least two burly individuals in a violent and rapid manner.
The simulations, which reconstructed the scene with a window identical to the one at Rocca Salimbeni and an athlete with the same build as Rossi, rule out the possibility of a suicidal act. The consultants hypothesize that the former manager was conscious and attempted to defend himself before being pushed or made to fall from the window. The definitive results of the expert report, which could have legal value, are expected within a month.
The story began on March 6, 2013, when David Rossi, then head of communications for the Monte dei Paschi di Siena (MPS) bank, was found dead after falling from the window of his office in the historic Rocca Salimbeni headquarters in Siena. Initially filed as a suicide, his death has been the subject of doubts and suspicions for years, leading to the establishment of a parliamentary inquiry committee.
Rossi was a key figure during a turbulent period for MPS, the world's oldest bank, which was engulfed in financial scandals and heavy losses. His position gave him access to sensitive information about the bank's operations. The perplexities surrounding the circumstances of his death, the position of the body, and the absence of a clear suicide motive pushed his family and some politicians to call for new investigations, culminating in the work of the parliamentary committee, which now has advanced technical means to shed light on the case.
