An incredible story comes from Italy.
A well-known Italian journalist in Treviso has ended up in court after being accused of embezzling money.
According to what Treviso Today writes, the 64-year-old received about 322 thousand euros and 2 mobile phones from his dead father's house. But this money was not intended for him. In fact, his late father had bequeathed it to an Albanian nanny, who had become his daughter.
The story begins on December 22, 2021, the day when the journalist's father was found dead. The 80-year-old was a wealthy pensioner and had been living alone for years. He had been separated from his wife for a long time. The divorce seems to have been the reason for the disagreements between him and the son, who did not want to have any more contact with his father.
Due to several illnesses, the 80-year-old found help from an Albanian caregiver, a resident of Spresiano. Soon, she became like a member of the family. In fact, the woman not only took care of his needs, but they formed a family friendship as the old man knew her children and husband. Often they all spent time together with the 80-year-old.
On the morning of December 22, three years ago, the daughter of the Albanian woman, who had stayed in the house of the 80-year-old Italian who had become her grandfather, found his lifeless body. Shocked, she called her mother. The latter decided to inform the boy as well. But when the journalist arrived at his father's house, according to what has emerged from the investigation, it turns out that he was not at all interested in him, but started looking in the drawers of the house to find the key that opened the door to his study it was locked. After he was able to open the room, the journalist filled his hands with everything he found. It is about 320 thousand euros in cash which the father kept at home.
"You can't do that. That money belongs to me, there is a will for that", the Albanian told the journalist. At this point she decided to call the police. But after counting the money, the policemen left the money to his son, as he was the closest person to him.
On February 8, 2022, the will was opened and it was discovered that the Albanian woman was right. All of the 80-year-old's assets had passed to her, except for an inheritance he had left to another person. The boy was left with nothing. There, the Albanian turned to a lawyer and filed a lawsuit against the journalist. But there is no trace of the 320,000 euros, an amount confirmed by the carabinieri report. The journalist claims that it is 70 thousand euros that he claims to have found.
But the prosecutor's office does not believe him and sent him to court.
