The story of the property in Monte Carlo no longer convinces anyone. I believe that it is really the time to finish this playacting: let Fini ask his brother-in-law for the name of the actual person with whom he negotiated the tenancy contract for that apartment, because you cannot imagine that signor Tulliani in Rome happened to know by chance that a gentleman from Santa Lucia was renting a home.<\/p>\n
He evidently knew it in Rome at the moment when the property was sold. It\u2019s time that we know the full name of the owner and how much he paid for it.<\/p>\n
Anyone who has such an important political position has the duty to say this. I believe that right now we are faced with a squalid affair between a blackmailer and one who is being blackmailed: that above all, the blackmailer must be placed in a position in which he can no longer blackmail, after the various precedents that have marked out his way of being, and I am referring to the Silvio Berlusconi<\/a> government.<\/p>\n If Fini doesn\u2019t want to assume the role of one who is being blackmailed, he has the duty next week to vote \u201cno confidence\u201d in Berlusconi because otherwise, he will become not just one who is being blackmailed but also a moral accomplice of the blackmailer.<\/p>\n Antonio Di Pietro\u00a0<\/strong>: \u201cToday Fini made an accurate diagnosis of Silvio Berlusconi. After 15 years, he makes it clear that he has finally realized who \u201cil Cavaliere\u201d is. At this point I am wondering why he doesn\u2019t withdraw his confidence in him.\u201d<\/p>\n Il Riformista<\/strong>: Now you\u2019ve asked the question, are you going to respond? Il Riformista<\/strong>: Are you saying that Fini is blackmailable? Il Riformista<\/strong>: Do you believe that the really famous document of Santa Lucia is a fake? Il Riformista<\/strong>: And that is that the apartment in Monte Carlo is really owned by Tulliani? Il Riformista<\/strong>: Whereas?Below there\u2019s an\u00a0Interview with Antonio Di Pietro; I gave that is published in \u2018Il Riformista\u2019.<\/h2>\n
\nAntonio Di Pietro<\/strong>: \u201cThe response is that having opened one\u2019s eyes in relation to Silvio Berlusconi, today, for Fini , is an aggravating circumstance not an extenuating circumstance. I am saying this clearly. If for15 years he has been an unknowing ally, and let\u2019s make out that we believe that, now he is an accomplice. If before he was a pretend \u2018ignorant person\u2019, in the sense that he pretended to not know the true nature of \u201cil Cavaliere\u201d, now he is an accomplice.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nAntonio Di Pietro<\/strong>: \u201cUnless he wants to have it believed that he is a victim of the \u2018Stockholm syndrome \u2026\u2019 You see, apart from the documents that have been rigged, here we are faced with 2 crimes. \u2018Extortion\u2019, article 629 of the criminal code, and perhaps even \u2018private violence\u2019. But the basic problem is that there is a President of the Council who is a blackmailer and a President of the Lower House who is being blackmailed.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nAntonio Di Pietro<\/strong>: \u201cApart from the fake, it\u2019s possible to suspect that the facts told there are true.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nAntonio Di Pietro\u00a0<\/strong>: \u201cOtherwise so many things could not be explained. In the background of that apartment there\u2019s a specific surname: Tul-lia-ni.
\nNow, if I were Fini, a month and a half ago I would have got the brother-in-law and said: Tulli\u00e0 would you like to tell me who on earth rented this apartment to you?
\nCan you kindly tell us who is behind those off-shore companies?
\nIf the President of the Lower House has not done this, there\u2019ll be a reason, won\u2019t there?
\nAnyway, if things were all in order, it would be enough for Fini\u2019s brother-in-law to fish out the tenancy agreement and the affair would have finished there. Whereas \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\nAntonio Di Pietro<\/strong>: \u201cInstead we are at such a point that Fini no longer has the peace of mind to preside over the Chamber of Deputies in an impartial way. He is being blackmailed by Silvio Berlusconi, who is still aiming at getting the constitutional Lodo Alfano onto the agenda for the discussions in parliament. \u201d<\/p>\n
