INQUIRY:  FORTI  CASE - 199115


Beyond any reasonable doubt...

The story of Chico Forti...
Sentenced to life without parole in the USA after an unfair trial with no way out


"The State does not have to prove that he is the shooter in order to prove that he is guilty…"
(Dalla requisitoria finale della pubblica accusa)". (!)

“AIUTATEMI SONO INNOCENTE"
È l’appello lanciato, da Chico Forti dopo la sentenza che lo ha condannato all’ergastolo.

Enrico (Chico) Forti, l'italiano che, tre mesi prima di essere arrestato per truffa,  ha messo in dubbio la versione ufficiale del caso di Gianni Versace e del suicidio di Andrew Cunanan con uno speciale TV trasmesso in Europa.
Chico Forti prosciolto dall'accusa di truffa ai danni del proprietario dell'hotel Pike di Ibiza è stato successivamente processato e condannato per assassinio.
Da oltre dieci anni Enrico Forti, detto “Chico”, è rinchiuso in un carcere di massima sicurezza nelle paludi delle Everglades. a Miami.

The re-opening of the Forti case is to be considered with the introduction of a new trial in the United States of America and is set to be a mission impossible. There is no concrete evidence from the prosecution in Forti being behind Dale Pike's murder in Miami.

A judge from Miami, John Gale said, " in this case my courtroom would never have taken into consideration a life sentence, because the facts brought before me and the lie told like the one told by Chico Forti are not enough to justify such a severe verdict".

Many doubts have come to surface from an analysis of the trial carried out by an Italian judge, Lorenzo Matassa, who published a book putting the Americam justice system under accusation, who in Forti's trial, had repeatedly violated the principal rules that guarantee the defence of a suspect. The book titled "Tra il dubbio e l'inganno" - from Versace to the Forti case, a double deathly trap, taken from the special by the Albaria, was printed in January 2007 and published by KOINè.

"The State doesn't need to prove that he is the murderer until he is proven guilty.." these words were said by the public accuser Reid Rubin during the final inquest of the trial, giving the American justice system great doubts on how an individual is considered innocent until proved guilty with proof. In Forti's case no evidence was produced and his sentencing was given by the attribute of the final speech by the public accuser, who cleverly presented to the jury as elements of guiltiness some simple clues, conditioning the jury in their final verdict.

IN SINTESI:



During the summer of 1997 Enrico Forti becomes the center of attention in the news worldwide in being successful in buying the rights of the boathouse, where the body of the serial killer Andrew Cunanan was found, the alleged assassin of Gianni Versace. Two people already known to the German Police, Thomas Knott and Sigfreid Axtman, are those who allowed Forti to undergo the deal.


THE POLICEMAN GARY SCHIAFFO (MIAMI CHIEF INSPECTOR APPOINTED TO THE CUNANAN - VERSACE CASE ABOUT TO RETIRE AND IN CHARGE OF THE BOATHOUSE) MEETS FORTI, INTERESTED IN MAKING A FILM ABOUT THE STYLISTS DEATH AND TO OPEN A MUSEUM ABOUT THE DEATH OF THE ITALIAN ON THE HOUSEBOAT.
