officials of ministerial or otherwise to assist it were precisely with positions of responsibility in relation
to the performance of the G8 summit.
ANSWER - So, the G8 summit was formed by the department of public safety, a task force, which is
practically all directions have been affected because a central police headquarters in the various
components refers to the second matter, a central management Digos then refers to the
commissioner in addition also the Head Office of Security, and the Flying Squad at the central level
refers to the Criminalpol and so on. So to prepare for the summit all the head offices have been
involved from Mr. Police Chief, because he was a summit that went beyond, say, a simple
organization of a police station. It is clear that a mil .. also arrived in Genoa on several occasions the
directors of these ministerial summits and on days 19, 20 and 21 were present in the Genoa area.
And the 21 days but also the fact some of these top 20 were present in the police and say that in fact

the direction of Central Police prevention. Then it was also the Prefect of La Barbera who is the
director of the Central Police Prevention, then there was Dr. Gratteri who is the director of the Central
Operational Service, there was some officials who were, say, next ... I had to accompany the first-level
managers regarding the conduct of the summit. These are the most important names that I remember.

was present on Saturday at police headquarters at what point?
ANSWER - The Prefect Barbera came to police headquarters in Genoa in the afternoon do not
remember exactly because I remember I was in Central Office and at one point I saw that it was the
prefect of La Barbera. Please note that these people as well as the Prefect of La Barbera Dr Gratteri
say that day were present, but in other days that were coming and going .. were not always present
24 hours ... that is, always to the police station in Genoa, maybe they went to Rome and then
returned, in case that Barbera had already happened in previous time had arrived in Genoa that day
21 afternoon, early afternoon if I remember correctly, the police headquarters in Genoa, I l ' I saw that
he was in the Operations Centre.

need that manifested itself? Has anyone called?
ANSWER - Basically I do not know a particular need for which the Prefect of La Barbera came to
Genoa, but I can say that the Prefect of La Barbera often came to Genoa, there was a room, there
was a foreign police with whom he was in the cont ... he and his men were in contact at the police
station in Genoa, and there were its officers at the police headquarters in Genoa Dr Luperi and other

Prevention, a situation in Genoa were certainly not quiet and then the Prefect La Barbera came to
Genoa also to check what was going to be supportive to its officers and to always have the contacts
that they have always had with the Foreign Police, but also because there has been some arrests of
some say, that the link with foreign police forces to urge the Police maybe even to write news about
the people who were there arrested

Barbera came to Genoa?
ANSWER - These are ...

But I do not want to answer in his place, if he knows why he came, if you do not know if she can tell
me later known or if it has elements from which to infer what could possibly be .. reason. But it is
precisely the point.
ANSWER - Yes, I ...
Q. - You had already given the answers when he was heard ...
DEFENSE ATTORNEY
ATTORNEY - DEFENCE - Excuse me President, calls for an evaluation, not a thing of which he is
aware, however.
ANSWER - but I can answer ...
PRESIDENT - can answer, yes, what is knowledge, not its assessment.
REPLY - I respond in this way, for those who make our work as the activity level of the judicial police,
Dr. La Barbera has made as many as I have made so many myself, many times when we send out
teams to work there is spontaneous we go on site to see what happens first thing that is inherent ...
Q. - Yes, but here ... Excuse me, am I interrupting you saying is that you do not have to explain a

OUTSIDE VOICE MICROPHONE - Say "I do not know."
PRESIDENT - But the prosecutor asked her this now according to the personal experience of the
witness ...
PROSECUTOR
PROSECUTOR - I never asked for the second personal experience, because I wanted to ask another
question to see if the witness responds in a certain way. Sorry, this need that you have presented
here by Dr. La Barbera is the connection would come with foreign police in connection with the people
arrested have been told by someone if not by the Prefect of La Barbera?
ANSWER - Sorry Doctor ...
Q. - He may have learned from someone?
ANSWER - No, I said from the beginning that the Prefect of La Barbera came I saw it as a natural
thing, because on other occasions he had come. And then I added that he has an office in its staff
structure of the police, had his associates who were close to police headquarters, a room had foreign
police and obviously I did not ask anybody anything, my deduction is see ... is a normal thing to see
the Prefect La Barbera. If then there were other reasons the mountain I do not know.
Q. - I'm sorry, there has been a challenge and I have remembered that she said the Prefect La
Barbera came to Genoa for a specific reason given, I did not understand, and can be one of my
deficits, if why she learned me to have it confirmed by someone or by the Prefect? If you say that the
deduced tell me, tell the Court on what grounds he has raised, only that, but I think it is fair to
respond.
ANSWER - I have deduced it is a natural thing, I do not know, I'm sorry doctor, I can not ... nobody
told me, because it is not that the Prefect of La Barbera warned me before or police chief or deputy
chief Andreasi tells me: "Look, dude, or get there tomorrow foo" and at one point and it's natural to
see some senior officials of the department that venghino there to give help to the whole structure.
When I see the Prefect Barbera I have not raised the issue ... sure has come a little at a time
'especially in Milan where ... Genoa, excuse me, were in progress or on the morning of the accident, I
forget which, however, came at that moment and then it is well I mean, for me it is an aid to
structure ...
Q. - I believe that she is responding to me because I remembered that I gave her a specific reason
and do not know if she has now responded to my question. If this specific reason the learned or
inferred? She responds clear on this point ...
ATTORNEY - DEFENCE - He said it five times ...

PRESIDENT - Lawyer no, she can not ask questions of the prosecutor. Eh, can only make
exceptions.
ATTORNEY - DEFENCE - Do not you realize how the organization ...
PRESIDENT - This will tell you later. The prosecutor made a specific question to the heads and the
question is whether these patterns indicated that in his time there has deducted or saputi them from
someone, I do not think that there is difficulty in answering. I told someone or deducted them
personally?

Prosecutor - No, but evidently concluded he realized ...
ATTORNEY - DEFENCE - Before you ask the witness if the witness answers, and concluded, then we
see as part of the witness says. At that point, if you want to introduce an assessment is not allowed.
(Overlapping voices)
PRESIDENT - The evaluations of the witness ...
Prosecutor - is not a measure but ... okay.
PRESIDENT - And we are interested in his deductions relative. Then the witness can only answer to
facts that he witnessed and what he saw, not what you thought, or concluded so the questions should
cover only the specific facts.
Q. - So the inferred solely on the basis of the tasks that had the ... I close I want to understand why it
is my right and understand, it is fair to say that she deduced on the basis of specific tasks which the
Prefect had Barbera? Is that what you want to tell the court?
ANSWER - Yes.
Q. - Very well. Then in the afternoon of Saturday 21, we can give it as given, is taken as a measure
intended to ensure that it has been said control of the territory. what is, on the basis of such
information, finite expressions, to ...
ANSWER - No, when ... runoff begins in the late afternoon, I believe, is not the protesters and then
there was a measure, you ... usually occurs when the outflow of a large event there is a wide-ranging
control of the territory ... so ... to ensure that runoff takes place in a peaceful manner, so, in a normal
and peaceful. So it's not that ... and then there was a virtually carraggio, say, very wide, was made
control of the territory to ensure that the flow in a quiet and peaceful.
Q. - What, say, the initiative has been taken?
REPLY - But no initiative in particular, the staff was in the area wanted a check that the outflow
attimino happen ...
Q. - How?
ANSWER - How?
Q. - In what way, as we have done this check?
REPLY - But the moment the flow ... is not that there is a particular way, of course, is inherent that
is ...
Q. - Dr. Colucci, were organized in squads of the so-called mixed composition for control of territory or
not?
REPLY - But I would not say the squads were organized in my opinion, there were staff who was in
the area and also the various patrols Digos, the various patrols of territorial control were as is
customary for us to station expand and allow the flow takes place in a calm manner. And now that
there is not an organization and an ordinance does not do this or that, it's ...
Q. - But nobody said that this initiative goes through a formal measure such order, I've mentioned, I
did so then the question was direct and perhaps suggestive because many witnesses have reported
the fact that I asked her. So if you have responded so elusive because there is no formal procedure I
understand it, but I assume that were established, and is something that comes to this Court by other
people ...
PRESIDENT - Then, the prosecutor has the right to conduct the examination as it sees fit. Please let it
end. Then when you get your ... cross-examination, say and do all you need. You're welcome.
PROSECUTOR - put in reserve by the fact that you mentioned. Mr. Covaci, on which I can talk about
later. I interrupted to ask you something. I asked her, learned this, what was the reaction. She says: "I
called Dr. Mortola and I took this initiative which was describing." I told her, "on their own?", And she
replied, in essence, "yes, yes. We understand. "I would remind you that in the minutes of October 1,
2001, I reread them, because you compare it with this report, she said:" As soon learned this news,
the doctors Gratteri, and Calderozzi Derluscò, suggested to intervene immediately. He was in charge
at this point ... etc. ". So it looks like .. ie, there is a reaction, an initiative by ... After that, she
remembers this particular, this nuance, or not?
ANSWER - You see, in front of an action where your staff was, say, in quotes, "mistreated", he was
attacked, it is clear that there is a spontaneous moment of perplexity, of the seriousness of the thing,
and now that Calderozzi,. Or Dr. Gratteri, we must intervene in this, honestly, spend the time, I do not
remember. I go to the salient fact. What what ... (Inaudible) if and how we intervene. If it is right or not.
These are my considerations I did to myself, so I tried to do some investigation to do so.
Q. - Now, if you can help the memory, as the ...
ANSWER - I'm sorry, Doctor. It is possible that even after the Prefect Andreazzi has suggested that I
have said, "phoned Covaci"
Q. - Yes, but sorry. Since you said "I do not remember," is about, you know, for immediate action,
reaction, Doctors Grattieri-Calderozzi, that is disputed, and was denied. She responded: "It is clear
that I said at the time we see a little bit what's going on, but you are saying that at the time remember
well that before I (inaudible) I have to think." The question. Then, the Doctors Gratteri - Calderozzi
suggested what? "Well, I remember that Gratteri, the Calderozzi remember, I have already spent
several months (inaudible) we say, people (unintelligible) we have to go there, and see. As a result of
their aggression and their will to intervene. She asked: "What does that mean?". She said, "means
having to take action to identify people who had attacked. And 'this in essence. "And then he also uba
series of ...
REPLY - But this is inherent in the interview ... that is, that when I first called, when, Calderozzi Dr.
and Dr. (inaudible) came to me (unintelligible) were red-faced (inaudible) was so excited ... that was
inherent in that context, "we must do something." But I do not remember exactly. That is a
consequence as if he had received a 2 slaps, is almost tempted to say, "We must do something."
Then at a certain point takes over the decision, quietly, calmly, to review a little bit as if you can ... to
do the checks anyway. Things that have been made.
Q. - Yes, but ... I can say one thing, without seeking, say the anger of the Lawyers? She responds to
what he remembers being "historically" successful. If she makes with divisibilissime interpretations
and remains rational, all right, but we can all do. That is, we are interested in the bare facts without
assessing inherent, say ...
ANSWER - I do not remember this will ...
Q. - Then, the stark fact that has been recalled, she explained very well on the other, as for
psychological reasons, she was reminded that in his original story is an initiative, in short, an invitation
that comes from part of some people. Here. And this stress you ... I remember that ... reminding the
solicitation, is after the question, "but she decided to do something yourself," this makes sense. You're
welcome.
ANSWER - well, in the face of this aggression that took place there was a time of loss, a time of
testing ... is not that it was taken as good news, where the street was one of our patrols was attacked
with stones, that is to kick the car ... There was a moment of ...
Q. - that theme is? "What do we do?".
ANSWER - We do what?
Q. - Very well.
ANSWER - At this point we do ... verify certain data, and so I have instructed to (inaudible) review
certain situations. There were 2 to verify it. The first, an inspection on the spot, and another that said a
moment ago, to interest the person who had custody of the school to see who was inside, and what
was the actual situation.
Q. - Look, the confirmation of a place, was aimed at what? What do you mean "a finding on the spot"?
ANSWER - finding the place to see and to do a test to see who was there, how many people could
be, and that attitudes were in these people.
That is, in essence to do an inspection. To see a little 'environment, how many people could be, what
their attitude, so ... A determination that ...
Q. - But for what purpose?
ANSWER - For the purposes ... to know, to know the places, events, and people who were there. The
assessment was made by Turmotta, I believe, a motorcycle, he did a lap around them ...
Q. - Excuse me, I remember about a slightly different answer. That is a question that has been done
several times on the basis of its response. To the question "but to intervene, to do what?", "Is to see,
identify" page (inaudible) who had aggredite.E 'this in substance. "
Page 11. page 12 repeats "Our intervention was intended only to identify and to accompany the police
station in charge of the assault." Page 15 "because (inaudible) when we were (inaudible) let's identify
these people, who may are still responsible for other incidents. In short, this was our purpose. An
intervention to identify these people. " Pegina 13. page 15, she stresses "the goal is (overlapping
voices)
DEFENSE - President, forgive me. I've got to oppose this way of dealing with (inaudible). First, there
is no contradiction, according to the witness was trying to explain why he sent ... was trying
desperately to say the rain breaks, 2 things, and he gave clear. In particular we want to pick a
contradiction, that I feel (inaudible), because the sending of Dr. Mortola was prior to any action to be
taken. The witness was saying "I sent Dr. Mortola to make an inspection." The context that the
initiative was also aimed to be something else, possibly anticipating a question that should be
addressed to the witness. I say "after the inspection, do what you wanted?", But you can not read him
for the purpose of confusing, because this is the result in the end not even wanted, but the practical
result, jump pages of the record, when the witness was linearly exposing his memory, President.
Q. - I have a different interpretation, the President, the logical line of my questions. I think the
recording I can give faith. But if every time I must discuss with the attorney general to my question ...
Lawyer and unfortunately not enough open space of the counter-baccalaureate examination, and
unfortunately the pace of the examination is affected.
JUDGE - So I think that this dispute is entirely ritual, this one, and then it is responsible. Why not ...
useless to stop here every minute of this deposition heads. And I think initially she had spoken of an
interest to see what there was in school, and then also spoke about identifying who was in school, so
we need a clarification. First what did you think, then you change your mind, or have tried to do
something else. This is what he asked the Public Ministry, and the complaint sought clarification on
precisely these ...
PROSECUTOR - because I was just in process questions "to intervene, to do what?". I reminded him
of ... decided ... suggested to intervene, and she introduced, and meanwhile send Mortola to inspect,
and I asked him, "but the purpose?". I reminded him that she said that the aim, primarily, was to
identify people. Was to stimulate his memory.
DEFENSE - Excuse me, then I oppose a moment. It should be said the prosecutor, who is contesting
an initial part which is a riassuntino of October 2001. Then it is integrating with the spread instead the
heads of the transcription phonographic (inaudible)
PRESIDENT - Objection rejected. The witness can answer.
ANSWER - So, is referred to my office this aggression that occurred to the officials and staff of Digos
and the Flying Squad. The way they have been told is a very accurate and very ... 4 and then all these
are a bit 'jumped (inaudible) this aggression, why not. Then make clear that if the inspections and
surveys, you go to ask if the school is still Covaci ... then in use or not, it is clear that there is a speech
with any consequential action. On this ...
Q. - But if the President rejects the exception of lawyers, on my direct question, whether or not you
confirm that the aim was also to whom the survey was finalized, to see the ... if the condition was to
identify the person responsible, and instead she says on this point. Not that they do a little 'of the
racket and then get the same effect. This is the problem. You must answer the point.
DEFENSE - voice over the microphone - a little 'offensive, President.
JUDGE - But I would say that until now we had constant interruptions, when we could have the heads
quietly without any interruption.
DEFENSE - Excuse me President, forgive me. I want to clarify, do so at least I avoid stress, which she
has the concept of difference between interruption and objection to the application? Because if not,
make the risk of interruptions, and I do not want them. Tell me when will I oppose ...
PRESIDENT - (inaudible) his experience as a lawyer, I think, knows full well what the opposition are
"serious" and those made (overlapping voices)
DEFENSE - Mint, I tried, but risk of being interruptive, believe me, my spirit is not interrupted. I'm
trying to resist when I note that one thing, in my opinion, contrasts, but it is subjective and limiting my
point of view.
PRESIDENT - then, as we are all here, and you even said yourself that we are here to ascertain the
truth. It seems to me that all these exceptions, anything you do not have significant, if not from that of
ascertaining the truth, are completely unnecessary. So you can go on peacefully without this
continuous block. Please
Prosecutor - the defender can make a groundless opposition, and from his point of view might be
based. I do not seem smart to say that the opposition of a defender is not serious. It will not be
established, the court rejected it, but I do not think that it should be qualified in a certain way.
(Inaudible) the right to admit or not admit it, but to evaluate it serious or not serious, frankly I do not
seem geared to elegance.
PRESIDENT - On this can be in complete agreement.
DEFENCE - So, Mr. President, excuse me, worse is to say that the defenders make a racket, why not
allow this, if we are allowed to say a word on this particular point. Thank you.
PRESIDENT - On this ...
PROSECUTOR - President tolerate insults to the Public Ministry a lot more than that.
DEFENSE - Now we have not told us, but you have said worse.
ITEM - Yesterday there was a sudoku, which I think is the equivalent of a racket.
DEFENSE - I see a spreading disinformation by the Public Ministry.
(Overlapping voices)
DEFENSE - Get information on what the sudoku. Sudoku is done in silence.
Prosecutor - the purpose ... never mind ... review the work of others means the purpose, and non-
technical exception.
CHAIRMAN - Okay, continue.
PROSECUTOR - I act in self-defense, President.
PROSECUTOR - Q. - So, and please reply. Dr. Mortola is designed to identify what is what. I
remembered that you said that they should be because the purpose is to see if you can identify the
attackers.
ANSWER - Dr. Mortola makes these findings. In these investigations are aimed at a possible
intervention. Depending on the outcome of the investigation, we could decide whether or not to
intervene.
Q. - The project aims to identify.
ANSWER - The project aims to identify.
Q. - I use his words.
ANSWER - identify the people who were involved aggression. So what did Dr. Mortola. With me, we
went to call Covaci, we came out of my office, we went into the office of Dr. Mortola, and from there he
phoned the Dr. Covaci. And I heard that Mr. Covaci ...
Q. - Who was Covaci?
ANSWER - Covaci is ... was a representative of the Genoa Social Forum at which the City had given
the structure.
Q. - Why Covaci phones?
ANSWER - because Covaci is one of ... Our contact person is the Genoa Social Forum. We also
knew that he was in that frame and then call it. To find out ...
Q. - That is, the intervention is clear cha to be achieved in the structure of the Genoa Social Forum?
ANSWER - the intervention must be done in that school. The school was being entrusted to the
Genoa Social Forum.
Q. - so it is clear to you that the site of surgery is a building ...
ANSWER - Yes, it was the oratory. I think that the building (inaudible)
Q. - It was the oratory.
REPLY - But I think so, in other words.
Q. - Okay. Perfect.
ANSWER - On the other hand all those who came to Genoa for the protest, all were part, by telling
them, of the Genoa Social Forum. They were about 800 acronyms.
Q. - Okay. This we know.
ANSWER - It was a willingness by the City of Milan had entrusted to Mr. Covaci, and Morettini. We
were with a lot. With Covaci, Morettini, and now someone else can not remember the name. However,
we phoned Covaci. Covaci replies: "Look, that structure we do not care anymore. We went from there
to that structure. Because there is runoff. Here is a casino for the runoff. " Point. "I do not know who
we can be in and who has occupied the facility."
Q. - What makes the reference structure?
ANSWER - the former Diaz Pertini school. The state where you had surgery.
Q. - do not. I do not know where he had surgery. The Court must accept where he had surgery.
ANSWER - the surgery was done at the Diaz school, which I learned that the popes, I then, I later
learned that Diaz was a band called, but in fact it was the school Pertini, I believe. And then there was
before ... then the 'I knew after this, before there is another school called ...
Q. - I want to know at that time.
ANSWER - at this time was the school ... School for me was the "Diaz", because I was told ...
Q. - on the basis of your information and then, in the availability of the Genoa Social Forum. So much
so that phones Covaci.
ANSWER - (overlapping voices) so much so that phones Covaci, who reported that they had
abandoned the home, he did not care anymore, and you did not know who had occupied that seat.
QUESTION - these things she relates, he hears with his ears by Mr. Covaci?
ANSWER - I hear with my ears because they are repeated aloud by speaking with Dr. Mortola Covaci
appliance. That is, when l Covaci espiegazione in Mortola, Mortola repeats them aloud, I am there
with him in his office and I feel it.
Q. - you know, just because Mr. Covaci was heard here in open court as a witness, but because there
was a Parliamentary fact-finding inquiry that Mr. Covaci not agree with what ...
DEFENCE - Mr. President, excuse me, there's ... (Inaudible)
(Overlapping voices) but you can not tell the witness, "She knows that on the survey Parliamentary
said the opposite."
Voice-over microphone - we want an immediate comparison
PRESIDENT, here is a clear opposition, forgive me.
PROSECUTOR - then the question is: I'm sorry, she laid before the House Committee?
ANSWER - Yes.
Q. - Very well. She told the House Committee on these things?
ANSWER - Yes.
Q. - she was in that context, if reported, that the version she gave did not correspond to what he had
done?
DEFENSE - President, here too there is no opposition. Because the acts are acts of the Parliamentary
Commission to political content, I think I do not have use for the dignity of a dispute alò witness.
PROSECUTOR - But yesterday we saw a newspaper
(Overlapping voices)
DEFENSE - President, I am asking that you respect the form codicistica. I realize that when you have
no other resources trying to get out of the code. O At this time it detects a discrepancy between the
deposed testimony of Dr. Colucci, and witnesses deposed ... (Inaudible) Dr. Covaci, and the Court has
it all home to check the comparison, then the ritual form any conflict, or permanence of conflict, but
you can not call the witness that the witness made ... facts that the witness did not attend, that the
deposition of Dr. Covaci, in another place like that ... (Inaudible) from the defense, Gratteri, there
would be opposition to this type of ... (Inaudible)
PROSECUTOR - rephrase the question this way: the witness who placed in the Parliamentary
Commission, has the witness in that forum were asked questions that challenged his version on the
basis of this statement Covaci? I ask the witnesses heard by the defense what the prosecutor asked
them. Do not see why I can not ask the witness, in a location that is not the court, what he said, that
what they asked.
DEFENSE - President, for my part I renew the opposition, then the Court decides, because this opens
up a method. In the sense that if the President today, this type counterpart, for the rest of the process
at this point I will take care to use all the data of which may have possession, to contest the said.
So I am opposed to this type of methodology, then I accept that the Court can teach me to use it
instead.
Prosecutor - We asked, however, the production of documents, and then, for heaven's sake, are
suitable ...
PRESIDENT - I've seen, but was rejected.
DEFENSE - was rejected because the production of documents at the beginning ...
PROSECUTOR - I understand, but now we can ask the witness who deposed ...
PRESIDENT - (inaudible) as we may all deny what he said Covaci, which has already been heard as
a witness before us.
DEFENSE - but then that's fine President, but I oppose the use of foreign documents ...
(Overlapping voices)
Prosecutor - is not a document. I asked the witness if, on that occasion, took objection to the
realization that someone else has told different things.
DEFENSE - President, I renew the opposition. The criminal trial is done in the classroom criminal acts
with criminal proceedings. Everything else ...
PROSECUTOR - make us ask questions but ...
(Overlapping voices)
DEFENSE - I'm not using other acts. Are using an act that the court, for example, has not. Are using

no relevance because it can not get any results, so we can move forward with other questions. You're
welcome.
PROSECUTOR -
Q. - But the Court knows, and in this instance I support the defense, that there is a stark contrast, the
testimony given by a witness in this process ...
PRESIDENT - since you can dispute, that is to point out that the witness Covaci, heard here as a
witness has placed in a different way from what he is saying.
PROSECUTOR - we can also follow the procedure, as it were, Article 207, in which there is a ...
PRESIDENT - AND 'right to Article 207 to object to a deposition of another witness.

warning if a witness ... (Overlapping voices)
DEFENSE - President, excuse me. Lawyer Bugle. That rule, of course, is interpreted as if it interprets
the prosecutor would be absurd. In the sense that he would always benefit the person who made the
first evidence that maybe is not to be false. That is, can not deny that Covaci said something different.
Admonishing the witness.

DEFENSE - President termino ..
PRESIDENT - I call everyone to follow what we are doing. Nobody said that it referred to the
witness ...

different things.

transcripts, we see here is on the verge of going, but I did not understand if the general objection, the
Covacha (inaudible) may suffice , here. In the sense that ..
DEFENSE - Excuse me President, it is clear that one can not criticize the witness said the other. You
can do this, I think this was the spirit of the court, that the results of another test declarative contrasts
with what he says. Then there is the institution of the comparison that was made for this type of
litigation in c in a non-traditional as we are venturing to do cvi.
ANSWER - Doctor, I repeat what I said before, and this is what gave me the strength to decide
together with all those that were in my office to intervene. Because we had the certainty, of the party

At this ...
Q. - I'm sorry. He said to Mr. Covaci, I do not know if it's Doctor or not, you asked who's in school?
ANSWER - A Covaci wondered exactly this: that what we asked Covaci, Dr. Mortola will then be more
accurate than me, if you will be heard. I asked: "Dr. Mortola, even if they had used the school, that
building, then I knew it was not even a school, then slowly ... he said; "Covaci no longer need. We are
in the process of flow, we left ... I do not know who ... obviously can not remember ... but Dr. Mortola

had told us ... we will not be (inaudible). " Why?
ANSWER - Because it was not appropriate. At that point intervene politically, that were ... was a ... eh

INTERVENTION - No, (inaudible) I also President.
PRESIDENT - Please.
Q. - So, you have to do a search.
ANSWER - The intervention was intended to hear from a search of Article 41 in those places.
Q. - I know, how mature this decision, if there are views ...
REPLY - But look, the only thing that I remember ... and then know, Mr. Prosecutor, in hindsight
everyone are good, the doubts concern the right or left, I remember, me and then one thing that I
remember exactly there was no concern, except one that of Dr. Mortola. What was done to me the
concern, when we went to call Covaci, that is, after ... immediately after ... that is, I seized the
official ...
Q. - Well, if you can I would like to reserve, we get to this, I would like to talk a little 'more about this.
Can I bring a little 'back, as it were, on the initial genesis, here. That is, who is the idea ... so who
takes the initiative, who is more decisive on the point ...
ANSWER - No, look, honestly, I do not remember. We were four, five, six person in the room and they
all agree in making the intervention (inaudible) ...
Q. - So, I go step by step, I have to do it she was very popular, especially behind many questions ...
so I go by grade, the first technical challenge to do, twenty page transcript, is "basically we agreed to
do this surgery, there were expressions clearly there was a particular check, that is, by those who
were attacked. But then we decided together to make this intervention, a boost from ... a boost in the
sense we were attacked, we must intervene, (inaudible), et cetera, et cetera. " So she was questioned
at the beginning.
ANSWER - I confirm.
Q. - There is a push that, especially coming from ...
ANSWER - Yes .. yes ...
Q. - This reminds us?
ANSWER - Yes, yes, yes, perfect.
Q. - So, let's instead expressed the position that Dr. Mortola.
ANSWER - Dr. Mortola, when once we decided to do a search, I can not remember ... for that bit ',
what we remember and Mortola (inaudible): "Mr. Commissioner ...", are we going to put in words
could not see well, he sensed something, when he was so perhaps he agrees. And I said, "we have to
do it."
Q. - So, why and in what concerns ...
ANSWER - I do not remember what ... what was the concern that came to Dr. Mortola, but it is the
only officer that explicit, clear sense, that ...
Q. - Yes, but what was the substance of this concern? It was moved ...
ANSWER - (inaudible) I do not know what was the substance. I only know that he said that phrase,
said: "Perhaps we going to get into trouble, but that it is all over ...", in other words do not exactly
know the substance ...
Q. - It, then, her perplexity ... must introduce the perplexity, she did not answer this with ... do we tell
the type of surgery and lens to do, say, to be searched, we can now tell if you (inaudible) search.
ANSWER - No, (inaudible) the objective ... no ...
Q. - No, she first told me specifically, I'm sorry does not (inaudible) ...
ANSWER - Yes.
Q. - Well, we said (inaudible) of Covaci that the school was not (inaudible) availability (inaudible),
otherwise we would not have said she did not?
ANSWER - Yes.
Q. - So the concerns of Dr. Mortola, adhered to this very fact, that is my assessment, sensitivity to the
objective? That was no reason to type, in quotes, "political" or relationship with (inaudible), but
belonged to say in its professionalism, its competence, that this kind of relationship with ... adhered to
this? To make it clear to the Court here, or if they have doubts because of an operational (overlapping
voices) ...
ANSWER - The lens type may not know he had some concerns. Or could also be confusion due to
the fact that we are now in the process (inaudible) as we go to load the other tests, on the other ...
see, an aggression that has been said that the staff of the State Police had suffered. Aggression that
was, I described, quite violent ... and this is a speech, the other speech when, at some point, I urged
you not remember by whom, to send personnel to the Brignole railway station, because there is
(inaudible) thousand, ten thousand protesters were still and did not go on the trains. Someone said to
me: "Send some wards," I sent no one because I do not mean to go on the ward, meant turn, to blow
the fuse, because now it was over. And to me what I did, I sent the (inaudible) and I have alerted the
railways, I do not know if I was clear in expressing what are the questions, in that case it's okay and I
did nothing in that case , (inaudible), having had those considerations ...
Q. - You thought the foundation of the (inaudible) at the time of ... I do not know ...
ANSWER - (inaudible) with the fact that we had to go to the search.
Q. - Look, I do not know if I say to remember the twenty-page transcript, she first said, "but when he
Covaci phone call, when it is not (inaudible) in the room." Here, she was in the room ... ie, all followed
the call of ... she said, in the previous (inaudible), 2002, the transcript of the minutes is integral in
short, I do not find the date, page twenty-one, I repeat again that Mortola said: "Quaestor here we go
getting into trouble, but if we go, I stress this is true, why has not happened in my room, because
when he went to call Mortola Covaci, since it did not come from me because we put a little 'time, then
I went to his room to solicit, this is true. " There does not seem right that she was present throughout
the call as reported by the witness.
ANSWER - I remember, basically, I went into the room of Mortola. I remember, basically, what has
Mortola ... (Inaudible) did not call right away, he thought (inaudible) a little 'time, I remember that I
went in his room and I heard Mortola.
Q. - Is there a (inaudible) than what he said?
ANSWER - I remember exactly, I can confirm now that the phone he said that phrase, so while talking
to Covaci.
Q. - Here, these concerns and this theme Mortola confronts her with, say, face to face in the ...
ANSWER - Yes, obviously, now I correct myself, apparently in the room I had already almost decided,
say, (inaudible) for which (inaudible) of the intervention. So we ... (Inaudible) the first two things, if I
then said that sentence in Mortola, if Mortola told me that it was risky in that circumstance, I do not
know as you said, (inaudible) concern (inaudible) search, and I obviously said: "we must do it",
apparently ...
Q. - Yes, but I first I pointed out here that, whereas before she had said she watched the whole phone
call, as long as Mortola, with ... (Inaudible) (overlapping voices) of the sentences.
ANSWER - (Unintelligible) Doctor, I said this, I attended the call, I left my room as you (inaudible) ...
Q. - (inaudible) the call.
ANSWER - I'm not ... I do not know, I do not remember.
Q. - No, I remembered that I have here.
ANSWER - Yes, I said that because, obviously, I came out, now you reminded me, I left my room to
call to solicit Mortola, apparently ...
Q. - It seems to me, if you (inaudible) well, that was on the phone Mortola Covi, there is a little
'(inaudible) (overlapping voices).
INTERVENTION - I'm sorry the President by what he read is not so ...
ANSWER - (inaudible) when I arrived, (inaudible), a question to which I have answered before they
Mortola says to me in that circumstance. "Mr. Commissioner, look, it's better than ..." and I say: "we
must go", apparently already in the other room, it was (inaudible) ... we decided maybe (inaudible).
Q. - Then we come to this point. So, in fact she had ... reunited with Mortola Mortola goes back to the
room ... Something happened in the other room. In his room, say, the room ...
ANSWER - What is it?
Q. - Well, (inaudible) tell you.
ANSWER - (overlapping voices).
INTERVENTION - There is opposition to this way of asking questions, something happened ... ask the
question.
Q. - And 'something happened is a perfectly acceptable question, something happened to the more
neutral and that there is more specific.
PRESIDENT - Let's move on please ...
ANSWER - Dr. Mortola, once you call me, I went to my room along with Dr. Mortola and said to those
present the result of the call.
Q. - Yes, but what Mortola answers?
ANSWER - I told the Mortola: "Look, Dibba do the search, we have to do this search", but does not
remember his response exactly ...
Q. - So the first outcome of this decision is made final call?
ANSWER - This decision, it was evaluating the possibility of doing this search, if it is satisfied, the two
findings that I described above. Once ...
Q. - But if the investigation had not come?
ANSWER - One time it was found that the school was no longer there (inaudible), people were ...
Q. - I follow his reasoning. There's his room, she said, occupied by all those present. She is present,
then at some point it away because it is in the room that Mortola phones Covaci thus evidently has yet
to bring the information.
DEFENCE - Mr. Di Bugno - He did not say so, did not say that call. He said: "I go beyond the call to
urge him to do." (Overlapping voices)
PRESIDENT - If we speak in three is unlikely that we understand each other.
Q. - I'm sorry, on page twenty-one ...
PRESIDENT - I thought it was, sorry for a moment, it seemed that the witness has just said so, that
went into the room of Dr. Mortola, who had been instructed to call Covaci, who was calling and found
it.
REPLY - Oh well I do not remember President, I know only that I witnessed ...
PRESIDENT - Did you hear this call.
ANSWER - This statement (inaudible).
PRESIDENT - Then, these concerns have been expressed, as I understand it.
ANSWER - We have expressed the concern then once back in my room it was decided, finally, the
intervention because the environment was what it was, the call had those results and then we decided
to search.
Q. - I'm sorry, she says Mortola, when Mortola says, "do not we put ourselves in trouble."
ANSWER - No, Mortola says (inaudible) ...
Q. - some answers yes or no?
ANSWER - Yes, I said something ...
Q. - What?
ANSWER - If we do something we are somewhat 'pressed, we are involved in this discussion ...
Q. - What is pressed? We are a little 'Pressed ...
ANSWER - (inaudible) in the making, possibly, do something to react to this ...
Q. - You used a word: "we are somewhat 'pressed."
ANSWER - Under pressure, we are somewhat 'pressed ... that is ...
Q. - The confirm? What does it mean?
ANSWER - I mean that given the environment that we were there was a little 'affected, at least in the
presence ... Perhaps we should intervene.
Q. - No, no, no expresses, is expressed ... is expressed well. Develop the concept ...
DEFENCE - Mr. Di Bugno - There is opposition. How do you tell a witness expresses well? President,
is expressed well (overlapping voices) according to my desires, what does it mean?
PRESIDENT - He wants to understand what you mean when the witness spoke of being pressured or
influenced ...
(Overlapping voices)
Q. - I've got seven pages on pressure.
DEFENCE - Mr. Di Bugno - President Excuse me, excuse me if I speak. I've heard all morning
examination (overlapping voices). I have seven pages on the topic, it is true that the examination
should not be stopped, and even lead it true that starting an argument by saying: "I have seven pages
on", it seems to me that the witness should be reassured at this time, to I think that answers the
questions (overlapping voices).
PRESIDENT - Lawyer wants me to explain, then, the meaning of his opposition?
Q. - (overlapping voices) does not exist legally.
DEFENCE - Mr. Di Bugno - Legally there is (inaudible) ... President, I have no problem placing it by a
legal point of view, God forbid, the 499 does not ask questions that we can somehow untruthful
answers, pressed on to say "I have seven pages," has a testimony that she (inaudible) to say ... we
can explain it?
(Overlapping voices)
PRESIDENT - The pages, which on pressure, as has been compiled? Invention of the prosecutor or
the witness statements?
(Overlapping voices)
DEFENCE - Mr. Bugno - President, and terms ... and terms because it seems that my actions are not
aimed at something different from what (inaudible) and terms. I submit that the evidence is assumed
here that is not a speech so to speak, but what he says is important now is useless to refer to
everything that has happened in the room of the Public Ministry. So, I agree that I am (inaudible)
questions ...
(Overlapping voices)
DEFENCE - Mr. Di Bugno - Saying the room of the Public Ministry, I would never say that (inaudible)
made things as they should be according to the law, I say that statements are taken unilaterally, then
it is useless to continue to refer (inaudible), they ask questions with confidence because the witness,
(inaudible) in my opinion is pressed.
ACTION - Excuse me President.
PRESIDENT - Please.
INTERVENTION - rightly, in the room the defendant had (inaudible) Dr. (inaudible) and when he heard
Dr. Colucci. It was a clarification.
PRESIDENT - Please.
PROSECUTOR
PROSECUTOR
Q. - So, I asked, as his answer pressed for clarification on the term, by these acts, if you could specify
a little more dynamic, if there was, then this decision has led to this consensus, say . That is, there are
positions, (inaudible) more of less for what reasons?
ANSWER - There is no doubt in that context, I repeat once again, it is a bit 'conditioned by the
presence of various central directors. It is clear that in the face of aggression, it is clear that before the
investigations which have been made, and opposite, say the express wish of wanting to take action,
we begin by attackers, and then assaulted by the end, in fact, I remember well , Prefect of La Barbera
truly was convinced to do the surgery. I do not think that Andrew has spoken in that particular
circumstance and actually do not remember who said his colleague (inaudible), but there is almost a
form, my psychological conditioning that he understood that the intervention was well-liked, he knew
that the elements were to do the surgery and then he decided to intervene.
Q. - Look, what I want to understand is, we say this sort of conditioning, in short, because the
proposal was a line, say of action that she did not feel, say, to argue in that circumstance.
ANSWER - Yes.
Q. - Wait, if my interpretation is correct. What is it conditioned it to him - in quotes - she explained, in
short, the situation we could find. The condition, say the opinion of the official who was his, despite
the different functions, higher, or some other official and conditioned for some other reason,
professionalism, experience or whatever. Here, I would like to understand the roots, say this ...
ANSWER - I want to correct. I repeat again that I was convinced I also do a search, not that I have
become conditioned or influenced by others to do the search. I too have joined the idea of doing the
search. It is clear, however, and I maintain that since the early days of the summit, the ... These days
it is clear that there was a form of conditioning by the directors who were central in the sense that
everything was shared, however, that if there was one thing ... I wanted to take a decision, just to
understand, and there was someone else who was a bit 'hand at this point was discussed and then
you can arrive at a solution, but in the specific context of the search I for one, and I take I was
convinced of having to take responsibility, since the investigations that were carried out were given a
certain result. Clearly, in that context, I imagine, too, that the attacked aspired to search, the ... and
others clearly wanted to present the search, then if other people have had doubts, because there was
a discussion of concerns in that circumstance.
Q. - But you, you yourself said that the greatest concern, the ...
ANSWER - (overlapping voices), but separately, in short, I look over the concerns, saying that in my
belief, and is going to my conviction, that the total discourse of all those present led to a search and
then I did not want contrappormi what might be ... even if I believed in doing the first search.
Q. - But, excuse me, I refer to the fact that Dr. Mottola was the head of the local DIGOS, so what was
the wrist, not only on the objective of logistics, but also, say the local situation, so if the head of Local
DIGOS makes this observation, we say that from the technical point of view it must be considered a
professional opposition, that is a puzzlement, as if to say, advanced in an authoritative, in other words.
RESPONSE - In that case went beyond the territoriality because Mottola might have knowledge of
any territorial groups say, but not on other groups who came from outside, in short, that is, I mean ...
so his opinion was far-sighted because, look at the Doctor say this, I also admit that Mottola has seen
longer than what I could see myself. He had a feeling, intuition, perhaps I could get colder in mind,
because I say it's all over now let's go home and do not let ...
Q. - I do not know if I'm sorry the petulance, say, but I do not know if she said, the problem is that
anyone who says something is a superior, that she feels in some way influenced the way ...
ANSWER - Dr. Mottola is one of my top.
Q. - Yes, I understand, but it is this element that she says "well, I can not go against" or is it ... are
other elements or other elements?
ANSWER - No, that, being one of my top, there was a Deputy Chief of Police, was a prefect La
Barbera, then (inaudible).
Q. - Here, however, his superiors, as if to say, are two, here there is a whole other set of ...
ANSWER - They are the ultimate ... the ultimate expression of the departments at the moment, there
are others.
Q. - So the question is ... the superior counted, she, more, what do you respond?
REPLY - But I say yes, in short, in that context, yes. He could also kick out all the room, in short, in
theory, right?
Q. - Okay, but ...
ANSWER - It says "I am an authority of public safety outputs all out, leave home."
Q. - As regards the other ... So, let's say above, I can tell, there was La Barbera and Andreassi, okay?
ANSWER - Absolutely.
Q. - The others were not his superiors.
ANSWER - The others do not, they were my colleagues.
Q. - Here, then, than these other people that she has found ...
ANSWER - Yes.
Q. - With whom she has been discussing, what was his attitude and what ...
ANSWER - My attitude was given an attitude towards other people, when, for example, give an
example, if I remember correctly, Dr. (inaudible) has been appointed he or (inaudible) to make the
controls inside the red zone , before the Summit, to see how to set up the speech from the beginning,
I discussed with him because he did not agree with his ... his statement, then with other colleagues,
there is a relationship ... was discussed and then maybe ...
Q. - But, excuse me, I have done ... I would like you to explain, here, why not give a straight and not
believed to heed, to tell Mottola, who is the head of the local DIGOS, and perhaps gives more weight
to the opinion that they are other people who are not his direct higher. Do you think ...
ANSWER - I have not said that (inaudible).
Q. - No, I said, if the authority's opinion derives from the fact that the person who is expressing his
immediate superior, we said that this can only come from two people.
ANSWER - Yes.
Q. - What did not equate the position expressed by Dr. Mottola, with a technical qualification that may
be remembered, and the position expressed by others that she said "have not experienced ... indeed
pushing (inaudible). " Is this correct?
Q. - Is there anyone who has attended the first meeting that does not participate in the second?
ANSWER - Yes, (inaudible) Andreassi that has remained in my room, and the other I think everyone
who attended the second meeting allla. It is a speech ...
Q. - Why Dr. Andre does not participate in this second meeting, I said?
ANSWER - I was in front of the Deputy Chief of Police, do not ... I (inaudible) is not subordinate to me
that I was in a meeting, in short, in fact, I even I felt a little 'inadequate in that second meeting,
because it is a task of the Judicial Police, so much so that told La Barbera "you what are you doing
here? "" No, I have seen "that is, Barbera is not judicial police officer.
Q. - I understand, though (overlapping voices). the first meeting had been well decided on a judicial
act of the police.
ANSWER - Yes, of course, but then, in particular the ... Andreassi has remained in my room, I entered
the second room a moment to attend the meeting, where he established a certain formal procedures,
then I went on.
APPLICATION - Application is specific.
ANSWER - Yes.
Q. - You know, apart from an inference that she did, which seems to me to do, "Andreassi not
participating."
ANSWER - I do not participate.
Q. - Why is the Deputy Chief of Police, and on operational details, it is perhaps not very suitable.
ANSWER - It is not that it is not very suitable, does not enter the merits.
Q. - Do not enter the merits, fine. There are things that you should not care. Do you know if the non-
participation in the meeting is due to other factors?
ANSWER - No, I do not know.
Q. - I do not know, or someone told him?
ANSWER - No.
Q. - Very well, continue. Has to do only the names of participants, so there is Andreassi, then there
are ... There is (inaudible) La Barbera.
ANSWER - There's Singers, which we recommend great caution, after which you plan to create two
teams. I am concerned in particular to ensure the safety of personnel who went to work, in fact I called
the vicar who was then Deputy Quaestor Dr. ... name escapes me right now, and the last tasks
entrusted to him, wide-ranging to surround the area, along with the police, the carabinieri.
Q. - Here, in working arrangements, preparation of the abstract tasks, who should do what in the
operation planned?
ANSWER - Well, I, for what I heard, because then I say well I watched from entering into details, in
particular, knew that some officials had to act as guides DIGOS, both teams had to intervene, before
the Doctor had to intervene singing, and then intervened in search of these two teams in the squad of
DIGOS.
Q. - So, who should do the search materially, that is, who was in charge of the search ...
ANSWER - (overlapping voices) team DIGOS and mobile teams.
Q. - The DIGOS in particular. Instead, the parts of Dr. Singers in this story had specific tasks?
ANSWER - (inaudible) the task of, say, occupy the territory to avoid ... cancel any barriers that could
interpose, while the Police were in charge of preserving the long-range area.
Q. - Yes Look, she sent on the spot, as saying that one represented, though in some respect, or ...
ANSWER - (overlapping voices) I decided at the time, not in the first room to send Dr. Lapi, who
referencing (inaudible). If I did that and in another (inaudible) of that day had been seriously wounded
in the hand, so there was also Dr. Murgolo and Andreassi said to Dr. Murgolo "(inaudible)." Dr.
Murgolo Now who was it? It was actually a Vice Quaestor in charge, so (inaudible) Judicial Police in
Bologna, but in the context of Genoa was a judicial police officer. Dr. Murgolo, I remind you that Dr.
Andre made me put in my order. If you see my doctor ordered Murgolo was the person who was
alongside me during the G8 summit, so I felt that, just to get to question the chain of command, Dr.
Murgolo going on site, as there as an official appointed by the Vice Deputy Head, which also was the
one who had to assist me in my order throughout, say the summit. Going on site, and major
representatives of the DIGOS squad at this point I think there is a chain of command. As has been the
subject of much discussion, because then we must also understand how our interventions are made.
When there is a team with a non-commissioned officer or an official, that official is (inaudible) which is
responsible for his team. Therefore, it is the number one, say the chain of command can see
everything, or it can affect everything, he heads the various teams, so I think that the chain of
command was made up of the official who I have said before.
Q. - Here, she has opened up a bit 'on the chain of command, and then I ask some explanation. I had
originally only asked if he sends you, as a direct representative said. Here, I made it clear that the
beginning he wanted to send Dr. Lapi, but for an unwillingness, she identifies Dr. Murgolo ... someone
suggested it to him, Dr. Murgolo?
ANSWER - Yes, Dr. Andre.
Q. - So, what we say, however, his direct contact for issues, perhaps the most relevant public policy.
Correct this?
ANSWER - Public policy is the Commander Singers, really, in short, to public order outside the
Commander Singers.
Q. - (inaudible) tax, say of this delegate, Lapi that had to be (inaudible).
ANSWER - Lapi, because the Prefect Andreassi said "you want to send someone?", (Inaudible) Dr.
Lapi can go well, as the coordinator does not know how it can be determined. Because, Dr. Lapi, I
learned in that session that he had done wrong, then the prefect said to Dr. Andreassi Murgolo "you
feel? You go ", (inaudible).
Q. - I'm sorry, when she said "has been a little 'discussion, the chain of command, here, to understand
a little' to the Court, because she vaguely alludes to this thing, what is the object of discussion and
what do you mean by the chain of command? She says there are departments, each department
responds to their official, right?
ANSWER - Yes.
Q. - Can you elaborate a little 'this concept, what it means, that the chain of command in what is
substantiated?
ANSWER - It is substantiated, the coordinator, in essence, because then I will be responsible for the
actions to take. It is a coordinator of all the various components are operating at that time. As there
were more components, DIGOS, mobile teams in some cities, DIGOS other cities, then the
coordinator must be an officer, who was to, say, pull a little 'sums.
Q. - But when you say, excuse me if I play bad, then I can also see any, ask if I clear ...
ANSWER - (overlapping voices) the chain of command, since it is a question I have smothered much
for more than six years, so I could not understand the chain of command, here is not that we are at
the level of chemistry, for which ...
Q. - So we say to the Court, we can say, you referred questions to controversy, catchphrases, or if you
will ...
ANSWER - Yes, its great catchphrases.
Q. - We can mention, here is the problem because she ... because it has not addressed directly,
because it did not name, identified a single coordinator of the transaction? That's the problem when
she said ...
REPLY - But this in our, yes our things in our facts, in our operations, when there is a Vice Quaestor is
the oldest of all grade-level, we speak of Officer of the Judicial Police, do not talk about others, we
have a Vice Quaestor who is sent by the Deputy Head with my consent, (inaudible), and at this point I
do not understand why this whole story is born of ...
DEFENCE - Mr. Di Bugno - Excuse me (inaudible) you're talking about, because I have a little 'lost
even their names.
ANSWER - Dr. Murgolo.
DEFENCE - Mr. Di Bugno - Ah, thanks.
DEFENCE
Q. - The reread a sentence that perhaps his ... I do not know .. perhaps partly contrasts, then I ask: in
terms of (inaudible) that took into account the plurality of function (inaudible) each with (inaudible) and
had commanded the group leader of its membership, and this was referring to you are probably
saying "each group responded to his officials," I do not know if among them there was (inaudible) but I
can say that there was a significant presence in the acts of agents of the Italian Police. Then I can
draw my conclusions from these utterances that she does, can he explain, may explain the better?
ANSWER - I think I've made in my report (inaudible) who was sent Burgolo.
Q. - Yes, but I have noted, however, so I said a part where she talks about the command line and in
part says what you said, that is, the command line is that the hierarchical ... of (overlapping voices)
departments, and then this allusion to the presence of significant (inaudible) ago (overlapping voices)
no to a line of authority in fact or not? But the question is specific.
ANSWER - Because in that case there is an act of judicial police, who is signing the Act of the Judicial
Police is not Dr. La Barbera, but not Dr. Gratteri is Dr. "X" police officers, At that point, Dr. "X" police
officers could also tell the Prefect Barbera "I did not sign it or not this kidnapping" because it is an act
of which he answers personally.
Q. - Excuse me, the lesson I am on the Judicial Police (overlapping voices) Excuse me, have
patience. I want clarity on this point, then clearly it is this: what does it mean to say each of the men
responding to the officer in charge of its parent group, I can say, however, that (inaudible) a significant
number of senior executives of the Italian Police, which means ? Explain it. Why say that however one
may object that (inaudible) the signing him that he is responsible for ... (overlapping voices)
ANSWER - If the Prefect Barbera or any of these senior leaders decided at that moment "go back" at
this point everyone would come back, there's no doubt about this, but if the Prefect Barbera had
said .. . for heaven's sake do not mention the time (inaudible) because there is no more, but to be fair,
if the commissioner of Genoa had said to the official (inaudible). I do not want to go and explain
anything about what she already knows better than me, Mr. Judge, but in this term I mean ...
Q. - I want to help the Court to explain what this phrase means that the (inaudible).
DEFENCE -. (Inaudible) President forgive me, if you interrupt the witness ... is explaining, be patient
(inaudible) you can not stop the testimony.
PRESIDENT - But I think enough has explained this situation, I think we all understood.
DEFENCE -. But she understood Mr. President this specification that I have not understood in the
sense that the figures ... because he spoke of Dr. Murgolo, then the role of Dr. Mugello explain it. I
have not learned everything she knew of Dr. Mugello I honestly do not too much, so if we do, perhaps
better explain.
ANSWER - Well, usually when you do an operation of the Judicial Police, it always sends a manager
who must still, depending on the importance of the transaction, the complexity of coordinating, in that
specific sense, since the operation was complex, but not as complex activities of Police (inaudible) 41,
because there was present a multitude of specialized State Police, and mobile teams as you want,
and you want to protect the crime as a department, and would like ...
Q. - Well, then co-ordinate, I take it, all right. And how is coordinated with the other (overlapping
voices) officials.
ANSWER - I do not know about.
Q. - Because she said at the time "(inaudible) observer talks about (inaudible) responsibility
(inaudible) go on the spot here." To coordinate the service but I believe it is in place for Murgolo and
will be found near the Prefect La Barbera and you will find Dr. (inaudible).
ANSWER - Lawyer (inaudible) I have given a justification (overlapping voices) I maybe wrong in
speaking (overlapping voices) to coordinate the service, the Prefect of La Barbera could go there and
take a look (overlapping voices).
Q. - you put together these figures of leaders (inaudible) and that among them are ordered on a
hierarchical ...
ANSWER - It is not ... (Inaudible) in our administration, in that case there were, the first time that I
happened to find myself in my professional career in front of senior administration officials in the area
of the interior, in general it never happened. So with my statements I made in his presence was a bit
'inexperienced, a little' surface. The coordination of the Prefect of La Barbera means something else,
not a coordinating activity of the Judicial Police, could be ...
Q. - No, no, sorry, I read what I was referring to Murgolo, ie to coordinate the service that I was there
and you will find Murgolo (inaudible) the prefect of La Barbera you will find Dr. Gratteri: and then she
returns to this problem of hierarchy, the coordination between them.
DEFENSE Lawyer Corini - President forgive me but there is no challenge in that he has done this
(inaudible) or not I take myself, I do not think that there is a contradiction, if the Court authorizes the
challenge in that logic to me seems to take it, among other things there, said, "there will be" even then
expressed a hypothesis.
PRESIDENT - It seems to me that there are contradictions in particular, seems to me that has meant
so clear your head, if he wants to repeat, but I do not think there are disputes.
Q. - It is a challenge that brings out a detail that did not report that may clarify the concept, because
the question "of the hierarchical structure in place, counting and how?" You answer this question
because it seems to me that these answers, but My interpretation is that I do not know is correct,
answer to this question clearly, if you want to address it and clarify it still do it differently.
ANSWER - I do not ... since that is an activity of the Judicial Police do not know to what extent and
whether he could count the chain of command.
Q. - Do you plan an act of the Judicial Police in the mountain then? That is, this statement on judicial
police can not find it.
ANSWER - It is one thing you decide whether or not an act of the Judicial Police, but it is another
matter to perform an act of the Judicial Police, in that case there was an execution (overlapping
voices)
Q. - (overlapping voices) it was then to decide whether to stop people, you do things, that there is a lot
of things to decide.
ANSWER - I do not know I do not know why I was in the office (overlapping voices)
Q. - (overlapping voices) on the questions (inaudible) to know and understand what happened after,
not so for ... academic thesis.
ANSWER - Well, oh my God if a person should be arrested or less certain to me personally an officer
of the Judicial Police is not me can impose.
Q. - Then, subject to the specific acts and responsibilities of the Judicial Police in their execution and
then made according to the requirements of the law and then screened according to the procedures of
law, but on the spot, on the field, in the absence of which is designated by a her as the manager,
which operates the command line.
Q. - Of course I understand, but the emphasis does not come .. is not that we want to ... you said "we
have long discussed on this" but then, not only in courts of law or judicial, because it was an issue of
the parliamentary committee, this is correct?
ANSWER - Yes yes yes.
Q. - So it is not that the claims that are made now, of course could prepare a little 'more maybe ...
there's always a problem here. Look, let's say you decide when the intervention in this second
(inaudible) will determine the operational mode, recalls how Especially now, very briefly that you
suggest?
REPLY - But I (inaudible) and the Prefect La Barbera and I have suggested to many lines going in a
very soft, Gratteri had spoken of tear gas, (inaudible) try to make a presentation look very peaceful,
serene, peace of mind in men On the other hand those were our provisions we had given on the first
day of the summit, very soft interventions very quiet, do not say exasperated.
Q. - Look after this suggestion in relation to Dr. Murgolo and then having participated in the second
working meeting, the Prefect Andreassi, suggests something, means something?
ANSWER - Well, if I remember correctly, the Prefect Andreassi says "inform the chief of police", so I
called the chief of police, chief of police that was ... we say that was in direct contact with others in my
opinion the top ministerial and say with me on that occasion, so it was appropriate to also inform the
chief of police, this is a suggestion that gave me Andreassi, but not enough for the job per se,
because then we have had so many raids of us in Genoa, the Pugs, atro short in some places; what is
so special that we had suffered aggression and consistency of staff who were engaged in short. So
much so that I called the chief of police and ask for confirmation ...
Q. - I'm sorry she confirms that he called at the suggestion
ANSWER - Yes yes yes. More than suggestion, Doctor sees them there was a ...
Q. - So doctor, "at the suggestion of my own Andreassi telephoned the Chief of Police" is a thing you
say on the record and states on page 43 of transcripts haute said (inaudible). Terms are not attractive
or put in the mouth by her, she said, "at the suggestion of". She is called to specify.
DEFENCE -. President may ask the prosecutor to the witness because they do not stop.
ANSWER - I wanted to clarify that no doctor ... the suggestion is correct, because (inaudible) at the
time, but I also wanted to point out that many times, things that are ... maybe I'd do it myself on my
own if I had suggested him, but in time it tells you that you do what you do that other ... that is, I mean,
not that one ...
Q. - I understood, but it is a historical fact?
ANSWER - Yes it is a historical fact, I'm trying to clarify for a moment (inaudible)
Q. - Okay, but does not have to justify itself, should report what happened, if ... Early suggestions on
how to say ...
REPLY - But I want to clarify that it is not extraordinary, because maybe I'd do it too, because they
typically those that are in that room each have a suggestion, go do this other one ... ie, it was
consequential.
Q. - At the time, they said, "so insidious was the question that took up what she had said." She says
that "suggestion", so do not complain about that.
REPLY - But I was trying to clarify.
Q. - I understood, but can not do, must specify that happened, then.
ANSWER - I called the police chief and told him that ...
Q. - But the suggestion was accompanied or not by ... whether or not the reason, because she said
"is normal" ...
ANSWER - This is my ...
Q. - Very well, (inaudible) inside and what she (inaudible) but because an external agent, ie, the
Prefect Andreassi suggests, the external representation of that agent, the extern is something?
ANSWER - I stick to the question precisely, Andreassi said to me, I said "make a phone call to the
leader, inform the Chief of Police."
Q. - Very well, on what terms?
REPLY - And I said that our staff was (inaudible) very very rough, because it was a continuous ebb
and flow of phone calls, we had been attacked and that we would have done a search of a school, I
forget what I said exactly, not memory.
Q. - (inaudible) done.
ANSWER - What we did, we were getting ready, we were getting ready to do a search of this
institution and also wondered about this ... I sent the public as Dr. ... Dr. ... the vicar, who's name
escapes me, a moment of amnesia, Dr. Calepini with the Police, as I had the availability of the
Carabinieri who also (inaudible). I spoke in exactly these terms, we would do a search perchèp our
staff had been attacked and that I used the Police to make an outside service.
Q. - So says the background, the reason (overlapping voices).
ANSWER - The reason (inaudible) the mention of the mention ... of an aggression that had been us.
Q. - The Chief of Police to participate in the nature of that goal, the purpose of this operation.
ANSWER - It is that the call was very dry, very simple, do a search ... the boss knew ... clearly this is
my assumption that the room was "A, B and C" so it was a sharing there had been, (inaudible) later, I
remember now.
APPLICATION - The purpose of explaining it to him, what is?
ANSWER - The aim was to attack us and we had been we would have done this to stop searching if
any.
Q. - What is the answer, what is the information where applicable.
ANSWER - I can not remember exactly, but clearly a police chief has said "I urge caution," do not
know what ... I do not remember exactly what ... because I believe the chief of police who had a direct
conversation with senior ministerial Referrals well with me so ... surely he will have made other phone
calls, or on its own initiative or has received other calls ... My guess this is always a Doctor eh, from
the high summits of the department.
Q. - Okay.
PROSECUTOR - Formally, the commissioner must inform you, formally, and he has adhered to
(inaudible).
Q. - Okay. Listen, then contact someone, he was contacted by someone, after this call with the Chief
of Police, (inaudible) there is this communication.
ANSWER - (overlapping voices) I informed the mayor of Genoa, I will also be informed, I believe the
Prefect of Genoa clearly now ...
Q. - The police chief gave some other indication, then a few more tips?
ANSWER - I do not remember anyway I informed the Prefect of Genoa, inquired if I am the mayor of
Genoa, informed perhaps our spokespersons, the communications officer, Sgalla then inquired who
else ... enough.
Q. - Why did the spokesman informed ... (Inaudible)
ANSWER - Why is our spokesman Sgalla is our communications officer.
Q. - It was his initiative?
ANSWER - How?
Q. - It was his initiative?
REPLY - And well, I think so. Yes perhaps there is exactly in my report, reflecting good because then I
informed Sgalla, because being a Sgalla working with our communications, clearly the face of such an
event at night, clearly some journalists that he knew something and would call Sgalla Sgalla had to
know what to say in short ... Sgalla then I said I look at that going to do this act of the Judicial Police,
and I said maybe, I do not remember, why we just went. (overlapping voices) I may have done a bit 'of
confusion ...
Q. - Yes, but is not a confusion, because the question in the other said "the chief of police responded
to another" (inaudible) said "the time is fierce memories to fade away", she said in her Previous
record: "he" that is, the police chief "soon after I called and told me to warn Dr. Sgalla".
ANSWER - I correct myself, I want to say this, I might have been imprecise. The Chief of Police of
course I drew him to commend the utmost caution, he might ... I have asked ... I honestly do not
remember, and I told him I have also informed Sgalla, perhaps that is because I told the chief of police
who had been informed of this search.
Q. - Look, here she is not reporting a simple content of a conversation, she says she has informed the
Chief of Police, have you said that you were told, period. She on record in October 2001 says: "He
called me shortly after telling me to feel well", that is, not that it is a (inaudible) the content, because it
is a memory in October 2001 of a special phone call to say this next, that is, now you like, tell me that
(inaudible) I thought I acknowledge, but the fact does not seem shocking, however, if you feel the
need to ...
ANSWER - No, I said.
Q. - Tell the Court is here with legal obligations.
DEFENSE - Attorney Corini - President forgive me, there is opposition. He made the challenge, we
are not opposed (inaudible), responded to the challenge, I do not know what you can ... you can not
tell the Court the legal obligations, there are phone records, has clearly said no?
DEFENCE - Mr. Di Bugno - What President phone records, if it appears that there is any call made,
before asking the President to show up warn the cell phone records and from here is that what he
says in order to call the witness is not true .
PROSECUTOR - A request to admonish the President is quite irritale, at most, because I warn you,
no one pushes me to do so, this is the first point, then we can go on quietly, please.
Q. - I believe that the contradiction was rather obvious, so I said take the witness stand on this, that I
said ... (overlapping voices)
PROSECUTOR - The witness has answered this and said "there's probably been (inaudible)."
ANSWER - I probably was my confusion, because since there was a bustle of phone calls, it is clear
that I am now in the cold, there was no other hand that the head ... I had a duty to notify an institution
that went beyond the standard one night ... is one of our employee communications, (inaudible) even
Sgalla, because I think it is more logical this information (inaudible) Sgalla.
ANSWER - The bitterness I was there, at that time, when ... when you saw the results, why? Because
there were no injuries, there were no injuries, and as in confra ... in a gunfight kills a person ... one
time, for me, there is always a sense of bitterness, then, there has been wounded, there was an
intervention not soft as I hoped for, there was quite an operation ...
Q. - Wounded at the ... that intervention, which was not soft, so ...
ANSWER - So, I repeat, I'm saying that because an intervention was beyond that of those arrested
did not interest me ...
Q. - What were the wounded ...
ANSWER - There had been injured for which a minimum of bitterness ... I hoped that the intervention
had occurred in a softer way.
Q. - But is not ...
ANSWER - Address ... the operation.
Q. - Yes.
ANSWER - I correct myself, the operation in general, not the intervention. The intervention does not
know how it was because I was not present. Look at the results, the results we have: x wounded on
the one hand, y injured by another, and this was the bitterness of mine.
Q. - But you are now, as it were, slowly calmed knowing and having learned there, the officer
returned, what had happened, for this bitterness ...
ANSWER - It is not a question of reassuring or not, ... also spec ... the simple discovery of the bottles
(Molotov cocktails), I can take comfort to a certain point.
Q. - I must explain, and I'm always talking about the bitterness that she connects her to the number of
wounded. At that stage, I think we also heard in this House a statement of Dr. (inaudible) that we
mentioned before, as we said, which she called for, I think, two and ten, on television, a rai, 24, who
says openly that begins to give the (inaudible) and leaves the police station, that the wounds are past,
then ...
ANSWER - On this ... This is an act, this, this ... now you made me a specific question, I repeat: I do
not know what he said (inaudible), I do not know ... I do not know ... I do not know ...
Q. - Did you see also in press (inaudible) police station in Genoa ...
ANSWER - I understand, but we are always there (Sgalla) was communicated to her, I do not is that I
went to see the press as well, to (Sgalla), I ...
Q. - Look, if I'm going to see the printouts, you speak with (Sgalla), perhaps there is next to the
statements of (Sgalla) on television, so it is that if (Sgalla) says one thing on television, she another
tells him.
ANSWER - I'm saying that I, indeed, I had some disappointments, I was bitter, and even then I said, I
learned from the staff, she reminded me, that was in place that in their opinion, have seen, even for
my belief that that forum was also a place where they could be brought to the wounded personnel
injured during the fighting ... the square. So ...
Q. - Look, he knew ...
ANSWER - It could also be a home, there being found, I say, I was not there, also ... of Medicinal
Products, or of gauze, what could be their emergency room for ...
Q. - This story took when? (Inaudible) officials.
ANSWER - Okay, I did not go there.
Q. - But how did officials learn that?
ANSWER - Why have seen it, maybe.
Q. - They saw what?
ANSWER - They've seen ...

movies ...

Q. - in the same room in which I'm sorry ...
ANSWER - Yes We explained to Dr. Canterini what is its function, such as that surrounding the block
and try to do at the first impact and to protect the operating personnel.
Q. - That is, a start-up security.
ANSWER - The safety of the operating staff. Could rain down on the other pitfalls, of course there was
the Mobile Unit, which had the shields for shelter. Ie ... virtually to counter any resistance that might
occur within the (inaudible).
Q. - Well, then you have already put in mind that there could be a drag?
RESPONSE - Any resistance.
Q. - With stone-throwing, with the launch ...
ANSWER - (inaudible)
Q. - Did she tell you now That I do not know.
ANSWER - It is clear that then occurred from what I know, I do not know.
Q. - Were you aware that there was a locked gate, in front of Diaz.
ANSWER - The experience told me that already many times, circumstances, the G8 have made of the
search warrant where there was even some we have not been able to do because (inaudible) we
have thrown stones, we had to turn back.
Q. - Yes.
ANSWER - It assumes any resistance.
Q. - I ask, Quaestor, because on page 56 of the interrogation that she has made me think ...
December 16, 2002, at 14 minutes. She says, on page 56, the PM asks the mobile unit (inaudible),
she says, "because the Mobile Unit was to break through the gate," the PM says "yes but no one
knew." "The first impact, the first impact," the PM says "could help (inaudible)" and she continues on, I
said "yes, because the gate, it could happen." So she gave it for granted already, so it was already
aware that there was an attitude of resistance.
ANSWER - No, when Dr. Mortola went to do his job, he was clearly talking (inaudible) of a gate, of,
of ...
Q. - So already imagined some resistance.
ANSWER - Yes.
Q. - So much so that I started to ask, (inaudible) was expected, and so on. etc.. Here, these
recommendations that you, we're referring to, would you have done to Dr. Singers, Singers as you
said.
ANSWER - No, Singers said "no, I will soon, I ... throw tear gas inside, "she told a little 'joke, so, with a
smile, a little'. (Inaudible) with a little 'superficiality, no, I took to La Barbera, and what he said
seriously, but I recommend it without any Molotov cocktails, no, sorry, let's not tear gas inside, very
soft, without creating panic, using a ...
Q. - I do not know if I am a then, since I do not care (inaudible), I do not understand, do you, in your
opinion and La Barbera, throw some tear gas was a more violent that go ..
ANSWER - What is not using their batons.
Q. - Let me finish the question otherwise. If not, the face of resistance, using the strength of clubs?
Maybe I do it to him ... some tears to you seemed much more violent that some truncheon? Why do I
have to understand ...
ANSWER - Yes, right, lawyer. Launch a tear for me, and even perhaps to the Prefect La Barbera,
brings a sense of confusion, bewilderment, panic. Here, in that sense I said, we said "do not launch
tear gas." Then we did a mental, then some theories say that it is better than a tear ... this is another
matter, however, at that moment, the meaning of the answer we gave to Cantarini, it was (inaudible)
of the Prefect La Barbera, who was on my part, the willingness to use peaceful methods. Professor
Singers then he has become convinced of this, is not convinced that we have not.
Q. - But I wonder, that she remembers Singers said "if we throw out all of the tear and the problem
does not arise"
ANSWER - The answer in these terms. The Singers had the logical sense of that, I throw the tear
gas ...
Q. - So there was definitely going to do violence? Here, we are still on this point. She remembers that
the men were divided into two teams Singers? Before doing the operation?
ANSWER - No.
Q. - You do not remember a team that was dispelled when Dr. Mortola said (inaudible).
ANSWER - So not. Now yes.
Q. - Why is there an article of our policies that come to support the forces that pass under the
command of then Police Headquarters where they operate.
ANSWER - I correct myself, Lawyer. I do not remember who had made two teams, one from the
commander ... one headed by Mortola, Brand, and an official of the (inaudible) of the Flying Squad,
another (inaudible) officer of the Flying Squad, (inaudible). I do not remember the fact, in particular,
that the Mobile Unit is divided into two, a little 'with a little one' with each other. This can not
remember. I was not aware of this.
Q. - But are you aware that the mobile units then operate under the leadership
ANSWER - Absolutely.
Q. - As an official of the police headquarters in which they operate.
ANSWER - Absolutely.
Q. - Of course. So we can assume, however, that when the men arrived in front of the Diaz Singers
were led by some official who referred, or who was on duty in the police headquarters in Genoa?
RESPONSE - In theory yes.
Q. - No, in theory, what does it mean?
RESPONSE - In theory yes. If I'm going to make public policy, (inaudible) the mobile unit of Venice, is
entrusted to the official.
Q. - Very well.
ANSWER - If then the Mobile Unit is something that has not had to do ...
Q. - No, I had asked this question. I asked if this was under the command of officers of the police
headquarters in Genoa.
ANSWER - Yes.
Q. - Do you know if there Singers went on site.
ANSWER - Singers went on site.
Q. - He went there. Are you aware of ... why. I told him ...
REPLY - But then I know that at one point I spoke with La Barbera, a thing, in other words. Singers I
guess he was on the spot, was on the site.
Q. - Beyond the sentiment of which you spoke earlier, namely that when there is an operation, you
also say this form of interest, respect, to go and see what happens while you place the ' operation. If
Singers did not go there, would have done something, would fail in his task, his duty, or is forced to
go?
ANSWER - If you ordered (inaudible), is obliged to go.
Q. - So, I've asked the question first, if she knows and she said yes, that men have operated under
the command of two officers of the police headquarters in Genoa. If men have operated under the
command of two officers of the police headquarters in Genoa have operated under the command of
Singers! There is a contradiction.
ANSWER - I was not there. I can only say that if (inaudible) have been grouped with the Singers, who
were to take action to say, in quotes, breakthrough, it is clear that there was Canterini, there must be
some other officer of the Police Headquarters. (Inaudible) If, but she says that the staff was split in
two, one with Dr. Mortola, another (inaudible) or dependent by Mortola, and other officials.
Q. - Very well. So ..
ANSWER - I, perhaps ...
Q. - If we assume that.
ANSWER - (fuorimicrofono) worked independently or has been employed by another official.
However, I always repeat the above discussion, there is always the Doctor. Murvolo which would also
see a couple 'situation.
Q. - So, (inaudible) that are divided into two teams, peaceful, and then, if you (inaudible) anyway. So
peaceful that the men had to respond to the two officials Singers who were (inaudible) the police. So
the presence of the Singers who will definitely was, as she concludes, and as I confirm them, was
certainly not to direct the operation. Was to assist, if (inaudible) that were present.
ANSWER - Excuse me, when Singers, sorry, to clarify the matter to the Court well. Singers
recommend to use a system rather than another, because the Singers have said to his men, that is, I
mean ...
Q. - We've already passed (inaudible) but I mean, is not what I meant, I meant the close operation is
set, ordered by the two officials.
ANSWER - That's the rule.
Q. - That is the rule, fine. Since you introduced me, even before the speech that the Singers had
spoken with La Barbera, are you aware that Dr. La Barbera, the first death was felt by prosecutors, if
they have ever known, and he reported that once the teams arrive in front of the Diaz school, and
once he arrived, given the situation.
Prosecutor-Pumpkin-Doctor is suing the contents of an interrogation of a person who has not yet been
acquired in these acts. And 'correct I wonder?

charge me the responsibility.

Singers, those of the Mobile Unit?
ANSWER - No, I do not remember.
Q. - I do not know. So to talk about her jacket, vest, sweater is the same thing?
ANSWER - No, no, I do not remember what to bring, as a department is a bit 'specialist, I can not
remember exactly.
Q. - It is not difficult, for the love of God, you have many uniforms.
ANSWER - How is the currency of the Mobile Unit, the one with the sweater ...
Q. - As the prosecution continued to play on the sweater, not the sweater, I say, I mean, she is unable
to rebuild, all the equipment?

Q. - When she speaks of having seen, having been contacted by Lucera Singers and probably, if she
remembers him to see the jacket or vest or both or what?
ANSWER - I think both the bodice.
Q. - The bodice. Do you remember, I think you said that maybe I'm not even come into his office, but
they may have met in the corridor.
ANSWER - (inaudible) in the corridor.
Q. - Since you have been repeatedly asked by the prosecutor if he was wearing or not wearing, if she
remembers to do it was to see the port, or if she had the body still in Lucera?
ANSWER - I would not be wrong, however, there was more in the body. I think I saw it, I would not be
wrong, I do not remember exactly.
Q. - When you can place this time of meeting with the doctor Singers.
ANSWER - Well it has been over one night.
Q. - Yes, more or less short. I do, to explain to her.
REPLY - But the action also 4.00, 5.00 am ...
Q. - You have the Diaz school that many objects were seized.
ANSWER - Yes.
Q. - In addition to the bottles, sticks, bags, wallets, boxcutters. As someone assumes that the bodice
had been put in objects that were then the subject of the arrest, I am referring to the question: Is it
safe to have seen wearing or has seen between objects, then, was taken from objects?
ANSWER - I do not think I ever saw him in pieces, the objects seized.
Q. - So you say he does not remember seeing it in pieces. In my view he had on him, he is sure of
this or e. ..
ANSWER - That is a finding shown separately, not together a. ..
Q. - No, no, I'm not talking about the moment in which these objects are taken to police headquarters.

what was under his jacket and sweater as she tried to insinuate the Public Ministry.
PRESIDENT - Mr. me comments ... I've called several times. Do not make them.
PROSECUTOR - Every so often escapes me. One tries to control himself but mica can always be in
control. However I think I did the questions that did not do to anyone, so he was not repetitive. Even
for me, which to me is that demand does not give me a proof of existence, are not Cartesian, the
question then I exist, I ask the question because I think it's useful. I have finished, thank you.

not going to see more of it.
