The Senegalese immigrant who was charged Thursday with murdering an American artist in Florence is the brother of the city’s top club promoter, The Post has learned.
DNA that matched Cheik Tidiane Diaw, who came to Italy illegally a few months ago, was found on a condom and cigarette inside Ashley Olsen’s Florence apartment, Italian prosecutors said at a press conference.
They believe the two met at a shady, members-only drug den called Montecarla last Thursday night and later went back to her pad to have sex.
“Then he probably slammed her head against something, twice fracturing her skull, and then strangled her,” Florence Prosecutor Giuseppe Creazza said Thursday.
An American living in Florence for the past decade told The Post that he’s met Diaw several times through his brother, Abraham, who works as the main club promoter in the city.

He’s not sure how the accused murderer wound up at Montecarla, which he described as the “after-, after-, afterparty” place where scantily dressed women serve coke on platters to patrons.
“His brother, who took care of him, would not allow his brother to do those type of things,” he said.
Italian police have surveillance video that shows Diaw leaving 35-year-old Olsen’s apartment and he allegedly confessed to the grisly murder while in police custody, saying that it was an accident, according to NBC News.

Victim: Ashley Olsen, 35, was found dead in her flat in Florence, Italy on Saturday by her boyfriend, an Italian artist. He has been entirely cleared by police. Sources said he had a watertight alibi.

The American artist murdered in Florence took part in a 'consensual, erotic sex game' before she was strangled to death, police said today.
Ashley Olsen, 35, died when she was strangled with a USB wire or cord, an autopsy has found.
The development came as police also identified a potential suspect seen with her on CCTV from outside her apartment.
The man, who is thought to be a drug dealer and may be of African origin, was apparently already known to the victim.
She was found by her boyfriend on Saturday after failing to be in touch with him. He tried desperately to revive her but she was already dead.
