Reality surpasses fantasy.
And the book “Diary of an investigator”, ZeroTre editions, by Giuliano Dal Pero is confirmation of this. The author is a retired lieutenant marshal of the Carabinieri who in 35 years of activity was deputy commander of the anti-drug section of Verona and of the Nas, anti-adulteration unit, of Padua, contributing, among other things, to defeating various groups of drug and weapons traffickers in complicated investigative activities, as well as highlighting the sometimes unclear background of the Healthcare system and other institutional or corporate entities involved in people’s health.
His book-testimony will be presented in a free admission meeting on Thursday 23 May, at 8.45pm, in the municipal auditorium of Villafranca. The meeting, coordinated by the journalist Elena Cardinali, will be attended by retired Carabinieri colonel Antonio Cavalera, who shared Giuliano Dal Pero’s investigative activity.
His investigations, told with the objectivity of the investigator who must collect objective data, clues that will become evidence at trial, represent more than realistic aspects of contemporary society, from those who try to defraud the State or some company to pocket profits to those who end up to become a murderer because he is entangled in a web of problems overwhelming those who try to achieve results in sport by taking the illegal shortcut of doping.
They are different faces of a humanity that has taken wrong paths, grappling with illegality but also with the inability to deal with complex situations.
The result is always the same: taking a path contrary to the law, sometimes out of weakness, often out of sinister business calculation.
The stories in this book in certain passages seem like a film.
But it is only the reality of the facts, reconstructed at the time with a lot of patience and sagacity by those who had to, for work, put together the individual frames.
