«Preventive detention was not created as a tool of intimidation or to increase the audience of an investigation». «Sorry to say it, but I said it»
«With the logic used for Toti (who is not contested for any personal or private advantage) they can arrest almost all the mayors, regional presidents and public managers. I suppose they could also arrest most of the magistrates”, wrote Guido Crosetto, Minister of Defense, onPreventive detention was not created as a tool of intimidation or to increase the audience of an investigation”, he continued, «was created to prevent the repetition of serious crimes, the escape or contamination of evidence. This is not the case, especially since 5 months have passed from the request for precautionary measures to their execution and that, as the prosecutor himself declared, the verification of the facts dates back to over a year ago. Therefore, if the precautionary measure is not justified precisely in the very times that the Prosecutor’s Office informed us of, why was it desired and implemented in these ways and at these times? Because there were elections, was the answer. But Toti is not a candidate in these elections. I’m sorry to use this phrase but I will do it anyway: I predicted it well in advance.”
