The statement from Giovanni Toti’s lawyer regarding the order rejecting the request for revocation of house arrest by investigating judge Faggioni has arrived quickly, which gives space – says Stefano Savi – “for an appeal to the Review which we will make next week” “There are contradictions – the lawyer said – things said are repeated then on the reason for dangerousness there is this idea that someone who is under investigation, under investigation and not charged, for a crime is almost infinitely dangerous. I would like to understand how long the danger lasts, taking into account that the decision even refers to possible elections in 2025”. To those who asked him what the governor’s comment on the news was, Savi replied “he agreed that he had to resort to the Review”.
Savi: “We will ask the investigating judge for meetings with parties”
We find Giovanni Toti’s resignation evoked in the rejection measure: if it is said that as long as he is involved in politics he is dangerous, that is the reading. We must evaluate the whole picture, nothing is excluded, nothing is affirmed. We will ask to be able to meet those subjects with whom to discuss the political future”, continues Savi. “He is an Italian citizen who is defending himself against an accusation that we believe to be unjust – continues the lawyer – and he is trying, even if some people don’t like it, everything that the law makes available to him to be able to contest this provision”. It is not excluded that he could ask for a meeting with the representatives of the majority parties “also given that the decisions he will have to make cannot be taken alone” so “certainly yes, there could be an instance in this sense”, he concludes .
