From the article it seems that the shroud is the cloth that belonged to Joseph of Arimethea. Am I correct?

I have pinged an expert on the Shroud of Turin. You may also find more details at This Link. NB - it is a translation of an Italian news article.

Joseph of Arimethea was Jesus’s uncle. As such, after Joseph died, he would have then been the patriarch of the family.
Also, In Rome at the time. only a family member could petition the governor for the body of a criminal.
He was also a wealthy man - and could afford such a fine burial cloth - and tomb.
