Denisa Maria Adas, Breakthrough in the Case: Mother Investigated for “False Information”

(Adnkronos) – A new and unexpected scenario has opened up in the investigation into the disappearance of Maria Denisa Adas, the thirty-year-old Romanian resident in Rome, a professional escort, who disappeared a week ago, after having stayed in a residence on Via Ferrucci in Prato.

The Public Prosecutor's Office of the Tuscan city, led by prosecutor Luca Tescaroli, ordered a search of the young woman's mother, Maria Cristina Paun, 49, resident in Rome. The order - which also includes inspection and seizure - was carried out during the night in the woman's home, in the Torpignattara neighborhood, by the Carabinieri of the investigative departments of Prato and Florence, with the support of their Roman colleagues.

Paun is now under investigation for false information to the public prosecutor, after being questioned along with two of her daughter's friends on Wednesday, May 21. The investigators' suspicions arise from some confidences made by the woman in the previous days, according to which Maria Denisa was kidnapped by a group of Romanian compatriots with the intent of forcing her into prostitution. A disturbing detail would be the involvement of an Italian professional, presumably a lawyer, who reassured the mother that her daughter is still alive.

The main investigative lead is no longer murder: the hypothesis of a kidnapping for the purpose of sexual exploitation, which occurred between May 15 and 16, is increasingly gaining ground. The young woman had arrived in Prato for a series of appointments with clients and then with the intention of subsequently moving to Bologna, where, however, she never arrived.
