Vittorio Emanuele’s long-standing crime case has finally been revealed to the whole world. From confessing about his crime to once again getting bailed from the courtroom, Emanuele’s luck favored him a lot. The court didn’t find him to be guilty of Dirk Hamer’s outrageous murder mystery! But the truth about the royal family, the judicial system, the illegal activities happening in and around Italy, everything has been revealed through the docuseries. Even if he continues to deny any of it, he cannot escape from his actual truth.
The truth would have been brushed beneath the carpet, but thanks to the people who helped Birgit Hamer! In the very last episode of the docu-series, we learn about Emanuele’s sudden arrest. The unrecognized King of Naples was dragged down to the police station of Potenza. And this was the moment when he was seen confessing about his long-lost crime of 1978. This is where everything changed for Dirk and Birgit Hamer! The King Who Never Was is currently streaming on Netflix and here are some interesting facts around the same.
The King Who Never Was – What Was In The Confession Tape?
Due to the stringent and twisted French laws, the case of Dirk Hamer’s suspicious murder case was never opened again. But ultimately Birgit Hamer did find out something so crucial that could have changed everything in the courtroom. The confession she was looking for, the tape where Vittorio Emanuele spoke aloud about killing Dirk Hamer was finally under her radar. Since the confession was recorded in one of the prison cells, it was indeed very difficult for her to trace it down.
From 2006 to 2011, she knocked on every official door to get access to this particular recording of Vittorio Emanuele! It did feel like a major victory to her. In the prison cell recording, one could clearly see how the Prince of Naples is narrating and enacting the fact that he had killed an innocent. Interestingly enough, she decided to make the video public and this surely brought enough trouble for the Duke of Savoy. He did try to lodge a defamation case against Birgit Hamer, but ultimately couldn’t stop the truth from coming out.
