The judicial truth about Marcello Dell’Utri
Italics by Paola Sacchi
I still remember how yesterday morning in the Senate, meeting of the Forza Italia groups, with Silvio Berlusconi who at one point confided to his family: “I pray every night before going to sleep and in the morning when I wake up for Marceĺlo”.
It was a small, bitter, scoop for one of the many newspapers for which I wrote, after the closing of Panorama of the Mondadori Group. Here, now "Marcello", or Dr. Dell'Utri, then, albeit elderly and very ill, incarcerated for years first in Parma, a maximum security prison, then in Rebibbia for a crime other than the one for which he was acquitted yesterday , now extinct penalty, or external competition in mafia association, has returned to the fore for acquittal in the trial on the so-called State-Mafia negotiation. Which contributed not a little to reinforce the media brand of "mafia" even to the four-time premier Silvio Berlusconi.
Massimo Palmizio points out to me – since 1982 a former close collaborator of Dell'Utri as well as Berlusconi still only big entrepreneur, Palmizio, former member of parliament for a long time, in the Senate and Chamber who in 2018 had to step aside for new young people after being top manager of Publitalia, directed by MDU, the first embryo of Forza Italia – which for "Marcello" was used in yesterday's sentence the formula of acquittal "because the crime was not committed", for the leaders of the Ros of the Carabinieri because the fact it does not constitute a crime.
Translated: Dell'Utri has something to do with it and the CCs, also affected by this legal matter, which also had significant repercussions on Berlusconi and Forza Italia, have not, in fact, committed any crime. Obviously Palmizio is delighted that the honor of the Carabinieri has come out great.
But, returning to Dell'Utri, accompanied one Sunday by his wife Miranda in Rebibbia, already elderly and very ill and remained there for a long time, trying to "escape" by reading the great classics in the library, as a bibliophile and cultured man he is, another chapter will probably have to be written on the definitive sentence, the sentence of which is now extinguished due to external competition in the mafia association.
The Radicals and not only did it in its defense, because this is not a crime contemplated in the laws of any other country. And his former close collaborator, top manager Palmizio, the parliamentarian who was de facto delegated by Berlusconi to visit “Marcello”, Senator Dell'Utri, spent a lot of money on him. Whose image in the collective imagination has been monsterrified. And with his that of a four-time premier.
"The truth is re-established", writes in a tweet on yesterday's sentence, for Dell'Utri and the Carabinieri, the deputy Sestino Giacomoni, who has always been in the front row of the Cav.
