GENOA – The prosecutor’s office is moving towards a negative opinion on the request presented by the governor’s lawyer, Stefano Savi, to revoke the precautionary measure.
For prosecutors Federico Manotti and Luca Monteverde, who have until tomorrow to file their opinion, there would still be the risk of evidence pollution and repetition of the crime. The investigating judge will decide by Friday. The president, this is the reasoning of the prosecutors, has not yet resigned and not all the witnesses have yet been heard.
In the next few hours, in fact, the shipowner will be summoned to the prosecutor’s office as a person informed of the facts Gianluigi Aponte who first threatened Aldo Spinelli (also under house arrest) to report him and then, according to the investigators’ hypothesis, he reached an agreement with his ‘rival’ on the division of the port docks
In a note the Toti List expressed its opinion on the news: “We learn once again from the press what appears to be the prosecutor’s thoughts on an act concerning the investigation. And in particular we cannot accept the interpretation, read and attributed to the prosecutor’s office, which would make the revocation of President Toti’s house arrest conditional on his resignation. A step which, proposed in this way, would be even more surprising than the fact that the public prosecutors could be inclined to express a negative opinion on the request. Despite the perplexity linked to this strange anticipation, we remain very perplexed by the hypothesis that according to the magistrates there would be the possibility for the governor to repeat the crime. We also appreciated the form of respect towards the magistrates, with the wait for the European elections before presenting the request. The president has never shied away or tried to hide documents and any type of device useful for the investigations, certain of the correctness of his behavior. It seems to us that all these considerations should lead to the acceptance of the request, once every type of possible fear that the investigators could legitimately have had up to now has been overcome. Because of this we hope that the press previews do not really represent the position of the prosecutor’s office and that President Toti can return to work in the Region and that he can lead the council againside by side with the offices, with vice president Piana who is doing an excellent job, and with all of us.”
