The alleged assassin of Paolo Corsi was arrested by Tunisian police as he was trying to resell his victim’s car. The suspect, intercepted shortly after the crime, had the 73 -year -old Italian teacher’s portfolio and mobile phone in his possession.
The victim, Paolo Corsi, former professor of Greek and Latin, was found dead Tuesday, January 21, 2025 in his second home in Sousse. The circumstances of the crime seem to be linked to a break with break -in.
Close to the local community, Paolo was described as a warm and sociable man. Its integration in Tunisia testified to its open -mindedness and adaptability.
This crime raises questions about security in Tunisian residential areas, particularly those frequented by expatriates. The incident comes as Tunisia stands out as an attractive destination for retirees.
In 2023, the country attracted 268 Italian retirees, seduced by an attractive cost of living and competitive tax advantages. The authorities have already proceeded to the autopsy on Wednesday and the body should soon be repatriated to Italy.
