Less than 48 hours after the crime, there is a detention for the murder of Antonio Novati, the accountant of Melegnano found stabbed Thursday afternoon in the back seat of his car, abandoned in the countryside of Massalengo, in the Lodi area. The investigations of the carabinieri, coordinated by the Public Prosecutor's Office, immediately focused on the 75-year-old's employment relationships and in particular on his role as bankruptcy trustee. Novati shortly before the crime had had an appointment for a property that had been auctioned: and it would have been the owner to kill him, in the courtyard of that farmhouse about a kilometer and a half from the place where he then transported him. Questioned and confronted with the numerous evidence collected by investigators, the man would have partially admitted his responsibilities.
