  • 10. The Pirate and The Mob
    Two decades on, fresh intel from a mafia source threatens to blow the case wide open. Italian journalist Lorenzo Bodrero takes us through the present day-inquiry, and the shocking new evidence that has come to light.

Narrated by Hugh Dennis, with the voices of Iain Ferrier and Helen Roper Sound design: Rich Evans Additional production: Lorenzo Bodrero, Matt Kenyon and Ed Morrish Writer and producer: Katie Sayer Executive producer: Jon Holmes

  • 9. Prima Facie
    Mystery bruises, missing cash… driven by Tonina Pantani, 2 inquiries into Marco’s death follow. Family members present new evidence, alleging that Pantani was beaten, forced to drink cocaine, and murdered - but it all comes to nothing. The second inquiry is dismissed - and it seems like the pirate has been put to rest for good. That is, until 2020… Narrated by Hugh Dennis, with the voices of Iain Ferrier and Helen Roper Sound design: Rich Evans Additional production: Lorenzo Bodrero, Matt Kenyon and Ed Morrish Writer and producer: Katie Sayer Executive producer: Jon Holmes

We speak to the woman who knew Marco best - his mother, Tonina Pantani - about the Marco she knew - and about her gut instinct that something about the ‘crime’ scene seems wrong..
