Rome, 10 July (LaPresse) – “I am not speaking to anyone out of respect for the Public Prosecutor’s Office. I would point out that the attack took place in October and the poll was carried out in June. I would have been an imbecile, or I must have got the dates wrong. And if we’d done them at the same time, we’d have been complete idiots.” So said Walter Lavitola in an interview with Tg1 on the Ranucci case. “In the international democratic socialist circles where I’ve been active all my life, they showed me a poll of potential and current leaders across Europe, including Sigfrido. I invited him to lunch and told him about it; he told me to get lost. I persisted a bit – there must be a whole load of messages –” he recalls, “in the end I challenged him and he corrected four of my questions.” On the matter of the ‘factotum’, “I’ll explain everything to the public prosecutor’s office; I don’t know what to hope for, but he told me he was coming back.” As for Ranucci’s statements, “the mere fact that he added that ‘if’ makes me start to question whether this friendship exists or not; what’s more, he could have avoided mentioning the thing about my son, which is the reason for my gratitude towards him.”
Ranucci assassination attempt: Lavitola says, “The timing between the bomb and the poll would be ridiculous”
