Head of Italy’s Film Department Steps Down Following Tax Credit Scandal Involving U.S. Citizen Who Is a Double Murder Suspect
The head of Italy’s film department has stepped down following a tax credit scandal involving a U.S. citizen who is a double murder suspect.
The man, who used the alias Rexal Ford and had a fake passport, is suspected of killing a woman and her infant daughter, whose bodies were discovered in Rome’s Villa Pamphili park. On Wednesday, during a question time in Italy’s parliament, the culture minister announced more stringent measures to be put in place to check how Italian tax credits are granted and paid out. International productions currently shooting in Italy comprise Bobby Moresco-directed biopic “Maserati: The Brothers” with a cast comprising Al Pacino, Anthony Hopkins and Jessica Alba, Ridley Scott’s “The Dog Stars” with Jacob Elordi, Josh Brolin, and Margaret Qualley and “Martin Scorsese Presents: The Saints.” Mel Gibson ‘s “The Resurrection of the Christ” is set to start shooting at Rome’s Cinecittà Studios in late August.
