- The “Investigator’s” Claims: Self-styled internet sleuth Jonathan Lee Riches (known online as JLR) drew attention to Cioni’s former band, Early Black, which included members Dominic Evans and Walter Goncalves.

- Public Reaction: The posts prompted mixed reactions online. While some social media users speculated about the band’s deleted web presence, others defended Cioni, pointing out that having played in a heavy metal or dark music group is completely unrelated to real-life crime and that internet sleuths are making baseless accusations without any factual backing from authorities.
