Elena's audit reveals Salvatore's plan broader: if Rico dies, Salvatore becomes protector, guardianship petition alleging Moretti danger? He wanted Leo as symbolic heir and control legitimate empire. There was a draft family petition to place Leo at Salvatore estate under “continuity.” Horrifying.

Also life insurance/trust transfers.

Salvatore had prepared memorial speech? Maybe too villainous.

Let's keep documents found from his office after warrant:

Draft emergency governance memo dated before Elena’s death, describing Rico as potentially incapacitated by grief.

A draft petition to appoint Salvatore special fiduciary for Leo upon Rico’s “death or incapacity.”

A spreadsheet projecting control of Moretti Holdings under those conditions.

Thus planned both parents removal.

Prosecutors charge.

Salvatore captured at private airstrip? Could be cinematic. But avoid operational detail. He is arrested at a private terminal before leaving country. Good.

He calls Rico from custody through lawyer? Maybe sends message: family doesn’t betray family. Rico replies through counsel no contact.

Then board strips him.

Rico begins plea.

Clara finds letter Elena to Salvatore? Not.

Rico also discovers Salvatore ordered drive-by but had intended Leo to survive because heir needed. Horrifying. Vince says shooters were instructed avoid rear seat. That’s chilling. Child was intentionally left alive as asset. This is secret big.

We should include.
