Italy’s Film Minister Resigns Amid Mounting Legal Scandals
Nicola Borrelli resigned on Wednesday amid the ongoing "Kaufmann scandal."
Online news site Open uncovered that Kaufmann had secured a €863,595 ($996,112) tax credit from the Italian Ministry of Culture in 2020 for a feature entitled Stelle della Notte, which never got made. Last month, Kaufmann was also arrested on the Greek island of Skiathos on suspicion of murdering his wife Anastasia Trofimova (not the documentarian of the same name) and their 11-month-old daughter Andromeda. Since the alleged crimes have been reported, it has been uncovered by multiple medis outlets that Kaufmann also used the alias of producer Matteo Capozzi, whose IMDb profile suggests he worked as a production assistant on Ridley Scott’s All the Money in the World(2017) and Clint Eastwood’s The 15:17 to Paris(2018) among other credits.
