Investigators failed to unlock Michael's mobile phone in the months after his murder on April 27 last year in Villafranca Padovana, Italy.
The device was eventually returned to the victim's father, Federico, who was desperate to recover photos of his son.
Federico told local media: 'My son's smartphone, which had been seized from Friso, was only returned to me after many months, with the explanation that they couldn't extract any data from it.
'Later, his girlfriend helped me unlock it - but I saw her go pale. When she turned the phone towards me, I understood why.
'On Michael's phone, there was a video of Friso filming himself as he walked into his house, dancing and making a victory sign.
'The face of that man, who had just been arrested for my son's death, was on his phone, wearing a mocking smile.
'Those 30 seconds showed Giacomo Friso almost pleased with having killed my son, making a gesture that seemed to say, 'I did it, I killed him.''
Giacomo claimed that he acted in self-defence, but this newly uncovered evidence on the phone appears to contradict his account.
The bereaved father added: 'During the video, there were details that didn't match the story I'd been told.
'According to him, he'd just fought with my son and had been beaten too - but he didn't even have a scratch on his face.'

Giacomo began banging on Michael's front door at around 4.30am, according to reports.
Having been woken, Michael went downstairs where the two argued.
Giacomo briefly left, returning at around 6am armed with a knife.
Michael had been waiting outside his home for his girlfriend when Giacomo returned.
She arrived soon after to find him dead, with multiple stab wounds to his face and chest.
While the investigation had officially closed, this new evidence will reportedly be added to the prosecution's file.
Detectives believe that Giacomo had no clear motive.
The men are said to have lived on the same street and to have known each other since childhood.
The alleged killer was known locally for his erratic behaviour and had been seen wandering the streets with a knife in the days leading up to the attack.
He had also reportedly just come out of rehab.
The trial is scheduled to take place on September 11.

Mom of three murdered girls' share bizarre Father's Day tribute to killer ex who suffocated them
The mother of the three young girls who were allegedly killed by her now-missing ex-husband shared a bizarre Father's Day tribute to him before their tragic deaths. Whitney Decker made a 20-second video featuring a slideshow of photos of her daughters, Paityn Decker, 9, Evelyn Decker, 8, Olivia Decker, 5, and their father, Travis Decker. The video was made as a Father's Day tribute to her veteran ex-husband who is now wanted on suspicion of murdering their three daughters. Her attorney, Arianna Cozart, provided the video to People. It's unclear when the video, which features Pharrell Williams ' song Happy, was posted. Paityn, Evelyn and Olivia's bodies were found at a campsite in Leavenworth on Monday, after Travis failed to return them after his visitation on Friday. The girls were found 20 miles from their Washington home with their wrists bound with zip ties and each having been suffocated with a plastic bag. Travis reportedly suffers from 'complex PTSD' and 'other mental issues,' and has since been on the run after vanishing into the woods. Yet, the girls' mother spoke out through Cozart and alleged that their murder 'was a tragedy that could've been completely' avoided had officials intervened. She believes 'something broke inside' of Decker and that he 'would not have done what he did if he was himself', Cozart revealed in a heartbreaking statement early Thursday morning. 'He clearly had some sort of break and everything that he had been living with, everything that had been bottled up inside of him for so long as far as trauma, just won out,' Cozart told the Seattle Times. The attorney, speaking on behalf of Whitney, also noted that it was uncharacteristic of Decker not to return his daughters after a scheduled visitation. His 'declining mental health' and 'out-of-character behavior' should have prompted 'enough concern' for an Amber Alert, Cozart argued. She believes authorities should have acknowledged the sisters were 'missing' and in 'substantial danger', even though Decker 'didn't issue an overt threat'. Court documents state that when Whitney reported her daughters missing on Friday, she 'expressed concern' over his out-of-character actions and his alleged deteriorating mental state. Whitney told police Decker was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and believes he did not take medication for the condition, according to court documents. The father-of-three was supposed to seek mental health treatment and anger management counseling as part of a parenting plan, but there was no sign he had followed through, the documents show. Whitney stated in September divorce proceedings that he had been 'struggling to maintain stability' since they separated and it was beginning to affect their daughters. She said that at times he would have the girls sleep at an armory while he was in the National Guard, despite her objections, according to the Seattle Times. She also said Decker - was prone to 'outbursts' and would come into her house yelling for the girls - would sometimes fail to pick up after promising to do so. 'I do not want to keep Travis from the girls at all,' Whitney wrote in the court filing. 'To the contrary, I have bent over backwards to facilitate that relationship. 'But I cannot have our girls staying in what is essentially a homeless shelter, at times unsupervised, with dozens of strange men or staying in a tent or living in his truck with him, both in extreme temperatures and unknown areas for their safety.' But still Whitney reiterated to authorities how she did not believe her ex was dangerous and said he loved his daughters. She said the girls had a, 'good relationship with Decker and enjoy their time with him,' and noted that he had never failed to return the girls before, according to a police affidavit. She said when Decker went to pick up the girls Friday, he was 'quieter than usual' which was 'out of character' for him. He had also allegedly been talking about getting rid of his dog due to housing and financial struggles. On Tuesday, a judge issued a warrant for Decker's arrest and ordered he be held without bail. Authorities swarmed the Rock Island Campground on Monday evening after finding Decker's truck. Chelan County Sheriff's Office deputies found the girls' bodies about 75 to 100 yards from the truck. Police believe the girls died from asphyxiation and reported that their wrists were zip-tied, court documents state. Decker's truck had two bloody handprints on the tailgate, and inside were personal items including blankets, food, car seats and a wallet on the center console, police said. The campground also showed signs of recent activity, with a tent and a cooler located a short distance away, but Decker was nowhere to be found.

EXCLUSIVE The Costa Del Sol bloodbath: A shocking new underworld theory is uncovered by FRED KELLY
One week ago, at 11:30pm on Saturday 31 May, a man stepped out of a car in Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol, arrived at an Irish beachfront bar packed with tourists and shot two men dead at point-blank range. This was no hot-blooded rampage. This was a professional job. A cold, calculated mafia-style execution, and - shockingly - the seventh shooting on the Costa del Sol in just 45 days.

EXCLUSIVE The gruesome reality of Pheobe's final resting place: The incredibly remote bushland overrun with wild dogs and pigs where the missing teen's body is believed to have lay for three weeks
A crime scene in an extremely remote part of a national park overrun by wild pigs and dogs is under police guard following the discovery of human remains believed to be that of murdered teenager Pheobe Bishop. Police discovered the remains in the sprawling Good Night Scrub National Park at 2.30pm on Friday, bringing the three-week search for the missing 17-year-old to a tragic end. Daily Mail Australia can exclusively reveal a crime scene is under police guard within the remote area, as of early on Saturday morning. The area is around an hour from Pheobe's hometown of Gin Gin, near Bundaberg in central Queensland, where she lived with Tanika Bromley and James Wood. The couple have been charged with her murder, along with two counts of interfering with a corpse, and are in police custody. The new location, cordoned off with police tape, is extremely remote and dotted with the prints of wild pigs and dogs that run rampant in the dense bushland. The remains are believed to have lay at the isolated site for three weeks. A source told this publication they faced a 'daunting' night guarding the scene. 'The dogs made their presence and their displeasure known during the night,' they said. The site is near an area forensics reported finding 'items of interest' last week. Pheobe's mother Kylie Johnson was last night informed that police had found human remains. 'I didn't think my heart could break anymore then it did when you went missing, or when the charges were laid, but this! This is ripping me apart,' she said. Earlier on Friday, Pheobe's older sister, Kaylea, 18, had begged for help finding her sister's body in an impassioned plea outside Bundaberg Magistrates Court after Bromley and Wood's murder charges were heard. She sat in the far corner of the front row, staring straight ahead flanked by friends, family and a court security guard as details of the murder charges against the couple were read out. Neither Wood nor Bromley appeared in person or by video link for the hearing and afterwards Kaylea walked outside to make her heartbreaking statement. 'We just want her home,' she said tearfully through red-rimmed eyes. 'I don't know what to say, if you've got any information about Pheobe or the car, just come forward. 'Three weeks is too long for us as a family. She was loved, she's missed dearly.' It comes as the house where Pheobe lived has been turned into a shrine. A makeshift memorial has appeared at the ramshackle, rubbish-strewn Gin Gin home Pheobe shared with Bromley and Wood. A large pink teddy bear stood guard over the property, surrounded with bouquets of flowers. A poignant message left by one mourner read, 'Pheobe, you grew your wings too early beautiful girl. Now, you will no longer feel pain or heartache. 'You can spread your wings, and know you will be loved.' The house has been extensively searched by forensics since Pheobe was reported missing. The teen's family and Gin Gin locals are preparing to honour her memory at a community ceremony tomorrow night. A candlelight vigil will be held at Kolan Community Park from 4pm.
