Case Mancini-Report, what happens between Renzi, Belloni, Draghi and Meloni

What Matteo Renzi says and makes us understand on the Mancini-Report-Autogrill case, the position of the Meloni government through the note from the Mantovano undersecretary, the role of Draghi, the position of Belloni (Dis) and the comment of an analyst

Institutional tensions on the Renzi-Belloni case for the Mancini-Report case. Here are the latest news.

WHAT RENTI SAID

“The monster was trying to take me out, but I'm still here… yeah”. It is with a quote from Vasco Rossi that Matteo Renzi presents the new edition of his successful " Il Mostro ", the book in which the former prime minister presents his version of the facts on a chain of events that should have cut him out of the arena politician . “If someone thinks that someone like me is scared, they are wrong – said Renzi during the presentation of his book -. I will continue to say what I wrote, everything is documented".

MATTEO RENZI AND THE MANCINI-REPORT-AUTOGRILL-BELLONI CASE

On December 23, 2020 Matteo Renzi is filmed by an intrigued teacher while in the parking lot of the Fiano Romano service station he meets Marco Mancini , a secret agent, who has made headlines in the context of the Abu Omar kidnapping case. According to the reconstruction of the former premier on the Autogrill square, the two would have exchanged only greetings before Christmas and chocolates. The Report broadcast comes into possession and broadcasts, in May 2021, the video, officially sent to the program by an improvised video reporter teacher who was waiting for her dad who went to the bathroom at the gas station. It later emerged that Mancini had also met with Minister Di Maio . Overwhelmed by the controversy, after the publication of that report, Mancini was convinced to retire prematurely.

THE STATE SECRET FOR ELISABETTA BELLONI

Several judicial investigations have arisen from that affair. During one of these proceedings, in the context of defensive investigations, Mancini's lawyers heard the head of the DIS (Department of Information for Security), Elisabetta Belloni , called to testify on the procedures. The number one of our intelligence services puts the State secret on, not at the beginning of the interrogation but when Mancini's lawyer asks her questions about the functioning of the Services .

THE RECONSTRUCTION OF RENTI AND THE BELLONI CASE

The reconstruction of the former Pd leader and current number one of Italia Viva is a bit different. “The director – Renzi wrote in his book – has decided to oppose the state secrecy until 2037 . I come to know randomly last June 25th. I remain speechless. In the light of this enormous decision, the truth about the events connected to the autogrill will only be published in 2037”.

ELISABETTA BELLONI'S RACE TO THE QUIRINALE

Matteo Renzi links the decision to affix state secrecy to the failure to elect Elisabetta Belloni to the Quirinale. In the press conference he used conciliatory tones: "I don't see any elements to establish a cause-and-effect correspondence between the no to the Quirinale for Belloni and the affixing of the state secret". But during the show “ Non è l'Arena ” much more was unbuttoned. “I know that the secret of state was opposed by Dr. Belloni four months ago, the same person I knocked out of the race for the Quirinale – said the former secretary of the Democratic Party during Massimo Giletti's broadcast -. I waged a battle against Elisabetta Belloni at the Quirinale in a very transparent way , a political battle because in my opinion whoever is at the top of the services cannot go to the Quirinale . About what happened next, anyone will be able to ask questions…”.

THE DEFENSE OF ALFREDO MANTOVANO: "STATE SECRET TO PROTECT THE SERVICES"

The Undersecretary to the Presidency of the Council, Alfredo Mantovano , Delegated Authority on Information and Security Services, intervened on Renzi's accusations, confirming "full confidence in the director of Dis in the face of Renzi's declarations" and recalling that the opposition of the state secret "it was confirmed by the Prime Minister in June 2022 and that it occurred during investigations by the judicial authority, in relation to the sole need to protect the functionality of the Services". Basically, Mantovano confirms the version according to which state secrecy was established not to hide information but to protect information on the functioning of our security systems . "The state secret was also communicated at the time to its own institutional sphere, Copasir, in accordance with the law", added Mantovano.

MATTEO RENZI REPLY IN MANTOVANO

“I read the note from Undersecretary Mantovano which explains that it was set up to defend the integrity of the services – commented Renzi -. I take note of it and say: I'm in no hurry whether it's 2022, '23 or '37, the truth of what happened in those hours will come out ”.

DRAGHI WAS WRONG TO PLACE THE STATE SECRET?

On this point Renzi does not express a position. “You have to ask Draghi for this because I have no elements to evaluate – Renzi said at the press conference -. A prime minister when the delegated authority arrives asking to affix the state secret, 99.9% put it. I have nothing to dispute with Mario Draghi . I have the utmost respect for Draghi as for Meloni and for the others. I don't know what are the reasons that led to state secrecy, but I'm honestly stupid".

THE ANALYSIS OF THE PRINT

La Stampa commented: " Mantovano points out that the state secret was made official by Draghi and that everything happened "during investigations by the judicial authority, in relation to the sole need to protect the functionality of the Services, and to avert the risk of violating the necessary confidentiality". The state secret had also been communicated to Copasir. What is certain is that the offending interview took place in December 2020, when it was at the height of the clash between Renzi and Giuseppe Conte; and agent Mancini was about to become the deputy of Gennaro Vecchione, a loyalist of Conte. It was revealed by the Report broadcast on May 3, 2021. Everything happened when Belloni had not yet entered the scene, and even less the candidacy for the Quirinale was foreseeable ".
