Italian Novara denies what is being heard about the circumstances of Ituma’s death
In a statement from Italian club Novara, they denied that Juma Ituma had sent messages to her teammates advising she was not well before she was killed.
18-year-old Italian volleyball player Giulia Ituma died tragically on Wednesday evening (December 4) when she fell out of the window of the hotel in Istanbul where the Novara delegation was staying and was killed.
However, a lot was written in the Italian press about the circumstances of the death of the unfortunate athlete, and the team hastened to refute them with a statement.
Among other things, Novara said in their announcement:
Julia never sent any farewell messages to teammates, coaching staff or management.
The information that an old friend of hers was concerned about Julia’s condition many days earlier and contacted some of her teammates before the tragedy to stay close to her is completely false.”
At the same time, he announced that Ituma’s funeral will be held on Tuesday, April 18th.
