A former coordinator of the Italgas office in Gaeta heard at the trial for the threats between two employees of the same section confirmed that at least one video was shot in the management office depicting a sexual relationship between a woman and one of the company’s officials. Facts that would date back approximately to the period before May 2018. This can be seen from the reasons for the sentence of the Court of Cassino which acquitted Ivano Esposto of the accusations of having threatened his colleague Augusto Parisella but, at the same time, offers an unsuspected insight into the rest of the context.
Here is what one of the witnesses heard during the trial said: «… I am aware of some facts about pornographic videos… one day while we were eating in the office with three other colleagues… they told me that they had seen a video … pornographic screenings whose protagonist, Parisella, was in the office, in the room of the manager he had here in Gaeta… he made these films… I didn’t like it… the protagonist of these videos was Parisella Augusto … when I said that I had given defensive statements to the lawyer… Parisella came to me and said: ‘I don’t care at all, at most they’ll fire me… I showed him those videos, he he shows them to the company… the company fires me… anyway I sued him for extortion, he has to give me 400 thousand euros’…”.
This red light affair would actually never have come out if the alleged author of the videos, i.e. the employee Augusto Parisella, had not reported his colleague Ivano Esposto for threats with the use of a knife, threats which according to the complaint would have occurred with a knife that Esposto used to carry with him to work.
