Dominique Pelico Investigated for Two Unsolved Rape and Murder Cases

Dominique Pelico, the main suspect in the "Mazan rapes" case, is now the focus of new investigations regarding two other unsolved cases. The Nanterre prosecutor's office is investigating the possibility of his involvement in a rape resulting in death in Paris in 1991 and an attempted rape in Vilparisis in 1999. Pelico has already been sentenced to 20 years in prison for the rape of his then-wife, Gisèle Pelico, with the complicity of many individuals. While he partially admits guilt for the attempted rape, he denies any involvement in the 1991 murder. However, investigations are examining similarities in the modus operandi. The lawyer for the civil action, Florence Rot, expressed her satisfaction with the start of the investigations, emphasizing the need to reveal the truth about cases that have remained unsolved for decades.
