The mystery of Sonila Cani’s death, from the Italian dream to the nightmare of prostitution

An apartment in via Pianezza, in Turin, became the scene of a tragedy with dark contours, which still today has no definitive answers. That’s where, in March 2021, the lifeless body of Sonila Cani was founda young Albanian mother just 21 years old. Since that day, numerous questions remain open about his death, and even the investigations have not yet clarified whether it was a murder or a suicide induced by desperation.

During the investigation, one fact clearly emerged: Sonila did not lead the free and independent life that her parents imagined for her. She was trapped in a system of pimpingan organized network that enslaves young women.

This criminal context came to light after the death of Sonila Cani. Today, as reported The Pressthe investigations, led by prosecutor Valentina Sellaroli, led to the discovery of that vast system of exploitation involving the Albanian underworld in Turin. Five people were arrested, while another eleven are under investigation for exploitation and other related crimes. Among these There is also the young woman’s husband, Kreshnik Cania central and controversial figure in a story full of shadows.

Kreshnik Dogs has always supported conflicting versions of Sonila’s death. On the day he was found, he told the police: «I was at the bar. I think she committed suicide.” But a few months later, he changed his story, stating that his wife had been killed because she was accused of spying on the police. He also reported the disappearance of 17 thousand euros from their home, suggesting a possible economic motive. His statements, however, never convinced the investigators.

Sonila appeared as a cheerful young mother dedicated to her child, and hid her reality of suffering from her loved ones. He had left Albania driven by the hope of building a better future. «He wanted to studyshe was the best in school,” recalls her mother, Sose, who reported to Press how her daughter’s Italian dream turned into a nightmare.

The young woman, who adored her child, video-called her parents every evening to have them talk to her grandson. But he had never said a word to them about the hell he was experiencing. “She was cheerful as always”, is the last memory of her mother, who heard her a few hours before the tragedy.

The investigation is still open, but the passage of time risks further obscuring the possibility of reaching a definitive truth. “We’ll talk to you tonight, Mom,” Sonila had said the last time. But that evening never arrived.
