Olgettina process, Senate denies use of Berlusconi interceptions. Exchange of accusations between dem and M5s – The Republic

Rome – The Senate saves Berlusconi, and it tussle between dem and grillini. The House of the Senate, by a vote by secret ballot, did not authorize the use of wiretaps between Silvio Berlusconi and so-called Olgettina . The votes in favor were 120, 130 and those against 8 abstentions. The council’s parliamentary immunity had requested the green light to the authorization, but only for three of the 11 interceptions sent to the Senate by the Milan judiciary, and that had been made in another study with an alleged scam in the center of public funding, then archived. Those three were those who believed that they had finished the survey randomly. It was so-called conversations “random”, ie the prosecutor could not have foreseen “that would be intercepted the Parliamentary” and therefore had no obligation to request at the time the authorization of the Parliament. On the other there was the doubt, and so have been removed. Knight, always Arcore to complete rehabilitation after the heart operation, breathing a sigh of relief and cheers Fi.

But the clash is now on the secret ballot with exchange of accusations between M5s and Pd. Immediately after the Assembly vote, grillini senators have protested so much that President Pietro Grasso has suspended the session. Beppe Grillo , on his blog, accuses: “It’s a mess that never ends.” “Now that the constitutional referendum approaches – continues the post – Silvio save the Democratic Party in exchange for a benevolent attitude, his and his powerful media empire, against the referendum. The #PdSalvaSilvio, but who will save the Democratic Party from the popular judgment ? “.

Coming out from the chamber, members of the Democratic party attacked by claiming that, aided by the secret ballot, to vote for the no use of wiretaps were grillini. “Alliance tests in the classroom between M5s and right”, is the accusation of Senator Andrea Marcucci dem. Things worse against 5stelle the Deputy Secretary dem Debora Serracchiani . “The moralizing of Italian politics, those streaming and vaffa- says – when you go to the point show the real face: zero scruples and backroom deals with the right.” “Purge internal sanctioned by the courts, parentopoli ascertained, party-directed by a private company – adds Serracchiani – and now the exchange of favors with forzisti: This portrait of who is proposed as the only real alternative to politics.”

M5s: “risen Nazarene” . “The Covenant of the Nazarene has risen”, replicate 5stars. “The Democratic Party with the secret ballot – warned the leader of the Movement, Stefano Lucidi – save Berlusconi and try to shore up his increasingly creaky majority. A sneaky way, blaming others as happened in other occasions, played on the Justice skin, to try to make even a benevolent behavior by Berlusconi and their powerful media system in the constitutional referendum. “

Zanda:” of course our vote, but not that of the other “. The Democratic Party leader, after the clash with grillini, and perhaps also to answer to those who suspect that some Democratic senators have voted in favor of Berlusconi, confirming that the party respected the decision of the council. “I am sure – says the chairman of the Senate dem, Luigi Zanda – that my group voted compactly in favor of the decision of the Government to grant legal authorities the use of Silvio interceptions Berlusconi . ” “They are much less certain – he continued – that, in secret ballot, there was the same conduct on the part of groups that had expressed while, in the debate in the House, the same position. We are facing a similar episode at that of 1993, when the League saved Bettino Craxi .

<"strong> process . The object of the vote in the Senate file contains around 11 interceptions between the former prime minister and two ‘Olgettina’ and had suffered in Board a troubled process . The intercepts are relative to 2012, when Berlusconi was deputy. The investigating judge in Milan has decided to send cards to the Senate, that is the last room where Berlusconi was the parliamentary, because the investigation of Ruby Ter (where former Knight is accused of witness bribery ) it was formalized in 2013 when he was a senator. The interception will remain on record in the Ruby ter but may be used by prosecutors as evidence only against girls and not the former prime minister. For the investigating magistrate Stefania Donadeo, who last October 1 had accepted the prosecutor’s request and added Pietro Forno pm Tiziana Siciliano and Luca Gaglio, those calls “appear relevant” in the investigation centering on the crime of corruption in acts judicial, because it would show the “negotiations” to bestow “the two women of money” and give them “real estate” in exchange for some sort of “procedural fairness”. The process is under preliminary hearing with the next hearing set for October 3.

process Ruby ter . In conversations sent to the Board of the Senate, to the “urgent demands” of the two young people ( “Olgettina”), in the past, guests of evenings at Arcore, “the fulfillment of the obligations of bestowal than promised,” Berlusconi “subordinates” their “attitude procedural “. Former Knight, in fact, he would have asked “explicitly to Barbara War to get Iris Berardi to revoke a civil party” and call on 12 April 2012, the showgirl ” Berlusconi confirmed he would put ‘good offices’ to convince ‘the crazy’ (Berardi, ed ), to abandon the chosen path. ” And from the diary of the Brazilian to the records of the investigation, according to the investigating judge, “can be seen even more clearly how and why Berlusconi should fear the witness statement of the same, since there is an explicit reference to a type relationship between the two when the prostitution Berardi was still a minor. ” The two Olgettina, having as plaintiffs in the process Ruby 2 against Faith , Blackberry and Minetti , They withdrew their constitution. And in interceptions, as he wrote to the investigating judge, Berlusconi “did not hesitate to order the War” to withdraw, calling the revocation “that thing there.”

video the indictment . Investigators will use as documentary evidence against Berlusconi’s video filmed a phone call from the same Barbara Guerra as he spoke with former Knight in June 2013 (the presence of Alessandra Sorcinelli ) and in which the ‘former prime minister, among other things, said: “I did a check of 160,000 euro yesterday I pay for the furniture in the house.” And War: “Listen, Silvio, it’s not my home that! I’m out on the street again! After four years of shit! Are you kidding me?.
