Next 4th of July in fact, the docu-series that traces the events of the last heir to the throne of Italy will be available in all countries where the service is active, Victor Emmanuel of Savoy.
At the center of the story is the accusation of murder of the young Dirk Geerd Hamer
The story of the docu-series – produced by MDE Films – kicks off on August 18, 1978. On that night, on the island of Cavallo, in Corsica, there was a shooting following the theft of Vittorio Emanuele’s dinghy by a group of Italians on holiday in Sardinia. And on that occasion the last heir to the throne of Italy fired two shots from a carbine.
From there, the charge for the murder of Dirk Geerd Hamer – son of Ryke Geerd Hamer – shot to death by one of those bullets. Following this accusation, Vittorio Emanuele was arrested. However, there was no proof of this fact: the defense claimed the presence of other people who would have fired during the scuffle. In November 1991 he was acquitted by the Parisian Chamber of Accusations of intentional homicide and sentenced to 6 months with the probation for unauthorized carrying of a firearm.
