A thirty-year-old Italian worker, residing in Mathi, Turin, has confessed to the murder of Albanian entrepreneur Fatmir Ara, 43, executed with at least three shots on September 2.
According to the Italian media, after 17 hours of questioning, the 30-year-old before the prosecutor Elena Parato that he was the author of Fatmir Ara's murder. He then gave the investigators instructions for finding the victim's phone, which was thrown away from the scene of the murder.
Investigators also found the gloves used to commit the crime as well as the now-confiscated rifle, which was carried with a permit. The suspect has also been identified through video surveillance cameras, but investigations are continuing to clarify the motive of the crime and other aspects of the incident.
Fatmir Ara, before the construction company, ran a pizzeria in Ciriè, near the Torino-Ceres railway station. That location was considered a logistical base to supply the city's drug market in a 2020 investigation. He was arrested with five other countrymen, but the "drug distribution" episodes for investigators ranged from October 2017 to August 2019.
Fatmir Ara had been missing since Friday. Owner of the sole proprietorship Nuova Edile, he had not returned to his home in Mathi, where he lived with his partner and two children and where he was under house arrest. He could only go to work, but since Friday there was no news about him, so his wife raised the alarm.
