The Supreme Court of Cassation on
Friday upheld a decision for investigations into the
disappearance of teenager Emanuela Orlandi over 30 years ago to
be shelved.
Orlandi's family had appealed against an earlier decision
by a Rome investigating magistrate to drop the probe after
prosecutors failed to find sufficient evidence in the cases of
Mirella Gregori and Orlandi, a Vatican citizen, who vanished in
mysterious circumstances respectively in May and June 1983.
Six people including a priest were implicated in the
investigations on suspicion of complicity in abduction and
murder.
All but one had links with the Banda della Magliana, a
now-defunct crime gang based in Rome.
