Filippo Turetta, Giulia Cecchettin's murderer, will soon be in Italy: he has given his approval for extradition.
The judge of the city court of Halle an der Saale, in Saxony-Anhalt, has already validated the arrest of Turetta, who during the hearing, his lawyer, Emanuele Compagno, said, “agreed to be extradited to Italy”.
But now he will have to wait for the regional court to begin examining the request for extraction. "To bring him to Italy - the lawyer added - it could take about fifteen days".
The times, observed the Minister of Justice Carlo Nordio, "in these cases are rapid. Everything depends on the judiciary of Venice, but generally the times are very rapid". The head of the Farnesina Antonio Tajani underlined that with the European arrest, which occurred thanks to "the coordination between our law enforcement agencies and the German ones", the boy "will be able to be entrusted in a few days to the Italian law enforcement agencies and justice to undergo a fair trial".
The technical times envisaged by the extradition procedures are usually a few weeks. Italy has already completed the translation of the international arrest warrant into German and sent it to the German authorities. When the extradition is ready, a team of the Italian judicial police will go to Germany to take charge of the 22-year-old to transfer him to Italy and make him available to the judicial authorities.
Magistrates who have several questions to ask the young man, to define the details that are still missing and above all to evaluate whether or not there was premeditation. Analyzing the history of his computer, investigators have in fact discovered numerous searches on high altitude survival kits, furthermore the body of Giulia he was found wrapped in some black bags and at the site of the attack, in Fossò, a knife with a broken blade was found which will now be examined to understand if it was the murder weapon.
At the moment, the coroner who examined the girl's body has already ascertained that she was dead when she was taken by Filippo to the slope near Barcis. The autopsy, which could be performed in the next few hours, will definitively clarify the causes of death and the time frame of the crime. Then the body will be returned to the family for the last farewell to Giulia.
Filippo's father: "I always thought he was the perfect son"
“I always thought he was the perfect son, never had any problems at school, no arguments with his classmates, not even with his brother,” Nicola Turetta, Filippo's father, told reporters. “It's inconceivable that I would find myself in something like this, something has exploded in his brain.”
“It's a tough thing, it's not like he just came back from a trip,” observed Nicola, still visibly shaken, commenting on the news of the arrest, “we need to understand how a boy to whom we tried to give everything we could give could do something like that.”
I was afraid he would make a desperate gesture. I would never have wanted to go and get them both alive.” Will he go and visit Giulia’s family? “Yes, but you have to find the courage to do it,” Nicola Turretta told Dritto e Rovescio on Rete4. “We offer our deepest condolences and are close to the Cecchettin family,” he added, “we loved Giulia and no one will ever take her back.”

I wonder how it is possible that a person can do such a terrible thing. I hope that the truth will be discovered soon and that the culprit will be punished adequately.
I hope that Italian justice does its duty and that the guilty party pays for what he has done.
It is really sad to read such tragic stories. The victim's family deserves justice and support.
