Naples – A turning point, accompanied by new and weighty questions, has arrived in the dramatic story of a Neapolitan couple who, after undergoing in vitro fertilization at San Paolo Hospital, discovered that the baby they gave birth to was not their biological daughter.

Yesterday evening, the health authority sent the complete medical records via certified email to the family's lawyer, Francesco Petruzzi. However, an examination of the documents immediately raised new alarm bells.

The lawyer's accusation: "Incomplete documentation"

"It appears that the medical records that were delivered to us in advance by San Paolo Hospital were seriously flawed," stated attorney Petruzzi. The delivery of the documents represents a crucial step in reconstructing the chain of errors and responsibilities that led to the embryo swap, but initial checks on the documentation have already revealed formal and substantial anomalies in the traceability of the procedures performed in the department.

Behind the scenes: the denial and the intervention of the police

The transmission of the digital folder came completely unexpectedly, compared to the initial schedule. Just a few days earlier, the little girl's father had personally presented himself at the hospital to request the documents, only to be refused yet again by the authorities.

Faced with the closure of the hospital, the man was forced to request the intervention of the State Police and his lawyer. Only after that tense discussion did the hospital set a September 18th deadline for the release of the documents, which was then suddenly brought forward with the certified email sent in the final hours.
