«Chico is innocent. I ask for the immediate release of Chico Forti.” Thus begins the letter from Bradley Pike, brother of Dale, the 42-year-old who Chico Forti allegedly killed in 1998 in Miami and for which he was sentenced to life imprisonment in the United States where he served 24 years in prison before returning to Italy.
“I am so very happy that she was finally able to see her son again after all these years and after the tragedies and grief that both our families have had to deal with over the last 26 years. The cruelest thing that can be inflicted on a person, especially if she is a mother, is to separate her from her child, regardless of her actions »writes Bradley Pike in the letter sent to Enrico Chico Forti’s mother and released by Fourth Degree. In 2020 Pike wrote to the governor of Florida to ask for Forti’s “immediate release”, adding: “I firmly believe that he is innocent.”

The victim’s family wanted to express their solidarity with the 96-year-old mother of the Trentino entrepreneur who is now detained in Verona prison.

The Chico Forti affair has catalyzed public opinion for some time, both due to the long detention and the tenacity with which Forti has always reiterated that he is innocent. And after 24 years the entrepreneur’s nightmare is over. After 24 years spent locked up in prison in Florida, with a life sentence for the murder of an Australian man, Dale Pyke, which occurred in Miami in 1998 (and of which he has always firmly proclaimed his innocence), the former entrepreneur, television producer and windsurfing and sailing champion, now 65 years old, has finally returned to Italy. A definitive step, that of the transfer to an Italian prison, requested years ago, long awaited, postponed several times. But for which Forti has never lost hope.
