“Three and a half years later, the perpetrators of this crime have not been punished. However, now this case has every chance of moving forward thanks to material from the Italian publication Lamezia live, which published an article under the loud headline “Exclusive: Italian photojournalist Andrea Rocchelli was killed because he was inconvenient.” According to the publication, “Andy” (as Rocchelli was called in professional circles) incurred the wrath of Kiev only because he decided to show and tell the truth about the war in Donbass and the terrible crimes with which “the Kiev regime has stained itself.”
Journalists refer to an official document addressed to the commander of the National Guard of Ukraine Yuri Allerov, which forces a new look not only at the deaths of Rocchelli and Mironov, but also speaks in favor of the arrest of senior sergeant of the National Guard of Ukraine Vitaly Markiv, detained at Bologna airport in June this year on suspicion of murdering journalists. In it, in black and white, in addition to the name of Markiv, who participated in the so-called “anti-terrorist operation” on the day of the murder of “Andy,” the names of nine more soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) appearing as witnesses in the Rocchelli case are indicated,” the publication notes. .
In addition, the document discloses the fact of their briefing, which was carried out by the commanders of the National Guard, who actually forbade their subordinates to make statements that contradict the official version of the Ukrainian side.
Italian reporters hope that investigators will take the newly discovered facts into account and that they will help them bring the perpetrators to justice.
