Mancuso: Berlusconi so blackmailed by Previti
of Giuseppe D'Avanzo
ROME - Filippo Mancuso calls them "the facts demonstration about the relationship between Silvio Berlusconi and Cesare Previti. Otto "facts" which, according to former fugitive and Keeper of Forza Italy, support the accusation September 20 in the classroom of a Judiciary Committee dealing with the "law Cirami. It sounded so, the denunciation: "The Prime Minister Berlusconi is psychologically and morally free (...) Berlusconi Say I'm lying when I assert that he is not free in front of Cesare Previti, and that is not free as in Parliament and in the country morally to perform its task. "The eight" facts "are contained in the document handed to the Honourable Pier Ferdinando Casini, Speaker of the House at the end of his speech. Below we publish a sintesi.1. Via del Plebiscito. "On the afternoon of June 28 2000 - Mancuso writes - I am unexpectedly called in the office of Berlusconi, as a matter of where to find these Plebiscito Pisanu, Letta, and I think, occasionally Paolo Bonaiuti. The need for this meeting was born of two telephone calls received by Berlusconi: first, by Giuliano Amato, former president of the Council and the other by Mr. Fassino, Minister of Justice, both relating to the amnesty and / or remission, then the current number of reasons (Jubilee, the Vatican stresses, state prison ...). The second telephone conversation leading to the conclusion that the day after There was an unofficial meeting between Berlusconi and Fassino on. After that they decided just two things that would have been exclusively signed to accompany Berlusconi at the meeting, and that the two of us we put to work immediately to prepare the necessary platform proposals of the matter. (...)
while on the preparatory consultation between me and Berlusconi, Letta is entering the study, which obviously in the role of filtering those calls, saying: "President, is to Cesare Previti on the phone that you want to talk now. " I never imagined to hear the formalissimo Berlusconi explode into a furious verbal reaction so negative, a veritable explosion of impatience and fatigue, psychological sealed by the following order of service read: "Tell him, this gentleman, I do not want to see him at all nor, nor hear, not even by phone. Enough is enough! do not see." (...) I see then read, apparently not convinced, just forward the following invitation: "President, listen to me, is better for you all the answers, it is absolutely necessary to do so. Come and answer the phone." The president runs the invitation with the air to feel the same way as a "proposal that you can not refuse." The brief telephone interview seguitone I do not know what result he then had. The fact is, however, that conclusolo, Berlusconi is still in the grip of strong shaking, back to sit down and talk to me as follows: "Sorry, Philip, do you understand what my relationship with Previti? Do not leave me in peace in his time for the Ministry of Justice, and so on an infinity of endless claims in the same field. Remember! "" .2. Michele Saponara. "During this term, twice, this fellow deputy, honestly attentive to become" the eternal question Previti, Berlusconi, "he said he knew for certain that the concern of the latter (after) around the known procedures Milan had reached such a point of exasperation to send to (Berlusconi) a letter of ultimatum most certain content. In which, after alluding latineggiava the following warning: Simul stabunt simul cadent ".3. Gaetano Pecorella. "We are close to the time of the debate in the House bill on the requests. I often I complain about the excessive rigidity of the positions on the amendments of the opposition Forza Italy. I feel with challenging concepts of gender," does not want to read, Letta telephoned to say that the matter for us is locked. "This essentially by the couple dancing Elio Vito and Antonio Leone, deputy leader and leader of the House FI (...) At one of these my dissent, Gaetano Pecorella , chairman of the Judiciary Committee, with visible irritation and concern, I participated on its own initiative his mood: "I'm sick of the lawyer Previti, which seems the only lawyer exists, does not give me peace with its constant pressure, which sometimes accompanies the unbelievable assertion that I, with the alleged slackness in the conduct of my role, I would be showing 'wanting to jail'. "I ask the question why not liquid. Pecorella I replies, 'It's very difficult, you know who is behind it, there's Berlusconi' ".4. Iole Santelli. "You do not want you to feel what inelegant, but for the fullness of subordination under Berlusconi's impossible to ignore the story very embarrassing for the appointment of Secretary for Justice to the high responsibility of a young semidisowned neoparlamentare (Iole Santelli), already inside the previous study. Peacefully and the obvious question of appointment proposed by Berlusconi, but only from the direct and previtiani interest, only those having the credentials for such designation and appointment ".5. The constitutional court." During the spring of this year, Berlusconi leaves the his own personal description (Filippo Mancuso, ed.) Hence the substitution of this candidacy with that of an intimate, timely and continuous professional close friend of the previous study (Romano Vaccarella, Ed): ventilated subrogation by that first and then clearly communicated to me. It is also a designation sought by the said person (subject) and formalized in a sudden, overnight change in the line by Berlusconi who, then, once in an election of a new nominee does not hesitate to give out with an exclamation rather confessors ("E 'was good!") delivered even in the solemn office of the Quirinale ".6. Cirami law." The story is still in place. Senate and House have been and continue for months to whip a so-called "urgent need", the one and the other artificial and instrumental. Pattern and determinant of real cosiffatto trend: the need to deliver at all costs the "end product" (...) A "finished product" targeted to the specific purpose of benefiting the processes Mr Milan. Previti, unfortunately strong purpose of the necessary green light by the sole proprietor of the formal power of political command, ie Berlusconi "7. History." The simple history is a factor, too probatorio.1 March 2002 application to the Supreme Court for the cancellation of the trial for Previti.30 May / July 3, the Supreme Court agrees to raise the issue of constitutionality of Article 45 (remission) .5 July, was presented the bill to Cirami Senato.31 July, Berlusconi claims not to know the reason for the urgency .1 August, the Senate approved the bill Cirami.30 August Berlusconi silent warning, never a justification, and declares that the Cirami is an urgent priority policy and institutional framework of government. The logic expressed by this history could not be more stringent than it is in confirming the barrier system by preparing Previti ".8. Dissolution of the Chambers." Such threats were received by both the chairman of the Justice and Pecorella by the President of the Council. The effect of these threats is that of a repeated intimidation, out of parliamentarians who are about to vote or vote again matter, to fear the consequences of a possible rejection of Cirami, namely the dissolution of the presidential rooms. Threats, unprecedented and irresponsible, which imply the possibility that most unhappy requires the President of the Republic of pleased with the immediate exercise of the power of dissolution. Nobody, including the excesses of the story, shows most of this intensity and the ruthlessness of the interest made in the field. "(September 26, 2002)
