A hearing is underway to validate the
arrest in Germany of Filippo Turetta, a 22-year-old Italian
information engineering student accused of murdering his
22-year-old fellow student and ex girlfriend Giulia Cecchettin,
judicial sources said Sunday.
Turetta will appear "before the judge of Halle, who will decide
on his detention", said a spokeswoman for the city's police,
speaking to ANSA.
After this stage, she added, "he will most likely be transferred
to a prison, without returning to the offices of the Halle
Police."
At that point, she concluded, "the Higher Regional Court
(Oberlandesgericht) of Naumburg, expected tomorrow or early this
week, will decide on his case and whether there will be
extradition soon".
Foreign Minister Antoio Tajani said earlier that Turetta would
be extradited within 48 hours.
