Film aimed at reopening of Orlandi case

Film aimed at reopening of Orlandi case

Vatican urged to release sealed dossier

Italian film director Roberto Faenza said his latest movie "The Truth is in the Sky" is aimed at encouraging authorities to reopen the case of Emanuela Orlandi, a teenage Vatican citizen who went missing over 30 years ago.
    Italy's highest appeals court earlier this year upheld a decision for investigations into the disappearance of Orlandi to be shelved. Another girl, Mirella Gregori, and Orlandi 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.
    Orlandi's brother Pietro said during a news conference that he was most interested in finding out why Rome Chief Prosecutor Giuseppe Pignatone had decided to shelve the case despite the existence of several investigation strands that could be pursued.
    He urged the Vatican "to finally make public the classified dossier" which could shed light on what happened.
    Faenza said "the magistracy has closed the investigations with 88 pages of archives that contain all the elements to go ahead. And then why won't the Vatican bring out this dossier? This would be the last step towards the truth. I don't think the film will manage to do it, but I believe in Pope Francis, who loves transparency. I'm optimistic".
    The film, inspired by Vito Bruschini's "The Truth on the Orlandi Case" book, tells the story of an English TV station which sends a journalist to Rome to investigate the origins of the Mafia Capitale scandal involving city authorities' links to criminal organisations. "The Truth is in the Sky" is a phrase that Pope Franics said when he met Orlandi's family in the Vatican, Faenza said, adding that in fact he believes the truth is on earth and his film is aimed at encouraging investigators to keep pursuing it.
