The King Who Never Was: Where is Vittorio Emanuele of Savoy now?
circles one night in 1978 on an islet off Sardinia, when 19-year-old Dirk Hamer was fatally shot while asleep on a yacht.
Archive photographs of the young and sun-kissed group of friends captured a blissful carefree summer before the tragedy, which they still seem stunned happened when they talk to the Netflix cameras. "There were a lot of us and we weren't exactly quiet. They were already showing signs of being annoyed," one of the Italians tells the cameras years later.
However, when he was arrested decades later on bribery and sex trafficking charges, he was recorded in prison boasting to fellow inmates about getting away with Hamer's death and "tricking" the French court – a video Birgit fought to obtain and which the Netflix documentary staggeringly plays a clip of.
After his arrest and release in 2007, Emanuele and his son Emanuele Filiberto sought damages from the country for the dissolution of the monarchy.
