According to the documents, the magistrates' new request is part of a case involving the tax residency and estate of Marella Caracciolo Agnelli, who passed away in 2019. The hearing has been adjourned until June 22, when the judge will assess the defendants' status and the possible progression of the proceedings toward the trial phase.
As part of the investigation, Elkann's position is intertwined with Ferrero's, even after the court denied Elkann's request for probation and Ferrero's plea bargain. Furthermore, the case will be merged with another proceeding that has already reached a preliminary hearing, which opened in the last few hours and was immediately adjourned.
Overall, the investigation unfolded along several lines, which will now be brought together under a single judicial path. Among the chapters still open is the one concerning the notary's role. Remo Morone, called into question for alleged irregularities related to the registration with the Chamber of Commerce of the assets of the Dicembre company, the holding company that controls the group's main shareholdings.
